I recently built my own computer. I've purchased a Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost graphics card and an AMD FX-8320 3.5 GHz eight core processor, along with eight gigs of ram and a terabyte hard drive. I currently have a 600w power supply, as well. That's all fine and good- in theory. But when I bought all these parts, I ended up purchasing a low-end Gigabyte motherboard along with everything else.
My issue is that, while gaming, I experience frequent FPS lag in certain games. I also experience overheating of my PC during the higher-end gaming. I simply do not get the performance that I would expect out of the parts that I have. And now, recently, I've experienced a lot of system freezing during very low demand applications, like surfing the web or just making a new tab or looking something up on google (it's not an internet issue because it freezes the entire computer). I'm starting to suspect that it might have been my crappy motherboard all along, but I'm not sure. I also suspected I might not have a big enough power supply. I upped the voltage to my GPU in MSI Afterburner, and that seems to helped some issues, but not others.
My friend was talking about ensuring that the motherboard's chipset is optimal for your GPU and CPU, but I don't know much beyond ensuring that it was AM3+ and that it had the right ports for the things I wanted... lol. Is it possible that the issues are the motherboard?
