Hi,
I have recently purchased a new gaming PC and have the following specs:
Asrock 990FX Extreme 3 Motherboard
AMD FX-8350 CPU @ 4.2 ghz (stock cooler)
8GB Kingston Fury X @ 1,866mhz
2 x 1TB HDD @ 7,200RPM
2 x Radeon 290 4gb @ 1100 / 1300 in Crossfire
Averaging 98fps on Unigine Heaven, 60-70FPS on Crysis 3 and 145 FPS on Tomb Raider Benchmark.
My question is, what more can I do to up the benchmark and scores? I don't particularly want to purchase an i7 4770k as it'll cost around £350 for the cpu and cheapo motherboard - this has been a suggestion echoed multiple times. Is this the only upgrade available to me? I haven't been into PC gaming until I bought this PC for £850 about a month ago and am slowly building up my knowledge after almost a decade of being 'out of the loop'. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
