basically my specs at the moment are:
AMD FX-4130 3.8GHz (water cooled with a Cooler master Seidon 120v)
KFA2 Nvidia GeForce GTX-670 2GB 256-bit
8GB of ram clocked at 1866Mhz (can't remember what the brand is right now)
WD Caviar Blue 7200rpm 1TB HDD
Corsair 630M PSU
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Okay so my problem is that i'm not really satisfied with the performance i get in games, i dunno whether its bottle necking or just bad compatibility between hardware.
i see benchmarks of the same gpu and similar cpu getting way better results than i've seen myself with my build, they weren't overclocked either, its kind of frustrating.
i'm not especially technical because i'm not as experienced as someone who's respectively been building pc's for a while but i like to hope there is a solution.
i am thinking of upgrading my GPU and going for a XFX DD edition Radeon R9 280 (or maybe the 280x) but i'm not sure if this will be much of an improvement, 280x is considered a 770 equivalent and 270 a 760 equivalent but the r9 280's are pretty cheap compared to what my graphics card is supposed to be worth.
