Currently setup...
I currently upgraded the Ram hence why its running two different types (I was going to remove the 4 gigs of G.skill but it all worked together and was blazing fast compared to previously.).
I am really not sure what a decent upgrade for performance would be (CPU wise) as I really dont play any game that can crush my GTS 450 (LoL, Heroes of the Storm, Smite) right now (though The Division has caught my eye). I currently stream easily with my current Rana 450 core so is it worth it to upgrade to an FX core or should I just keep using the Rana core until it dies?
I really just want a better PC and I'm having a hard time justifying it because it runs so smoothly and efficiently.
I have tried unlocking the 4th core it does not run stable period even with voltages turned up a bit.
Is there an AMD CPU that would be a major upgrade in the FX series?
I'm probably going to end up with dual r9 270x's eventually to play at a ridiculous resolution.
Any suggestions on upgrades?
