Hi, i am kinda new to PC gaming and the whole PC world, tbh. I do, however, know a thing or two about different PC parts, their specifications, and how most components work now. I've always used since the SNES as a kid, and i've never really caught interest to PC Gaming until now.
So basically a few weeks ago i bought alot of different PC parts so i could build my first PC. And as i was done building the PC i had a boot up issue, but that was because i placed one of the components or wires (I am sorry if its called something else, as english is not my first language) in the wrong slot. Quickly fixed that, though. Anyways, onto my issue, as i turned on my PC and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, i started installing Windows updates which took a long fucking time. I restarted my PC the final time, and began downloading a game on steam to test my PC, and i know what you are thinking. I should have installed the drivers first. I got terrible frame rates. I then realised i had to installed all drivers manually. I did that, and restarted my PC. Later on i tried to test out another game on steam, and i noticed alot of artifacts and TERRIBLE frame rates. i thought 'wtf, i just installed all drivers for my GPU, Mobo, ect. Why am i getting artifacts and terrible frame rates?' then 1 week later found out that turning off Graphics Overdrive in CCC fixed my artifacts completely, however i had gained only a slight frame rate increase, and i still experience ALOT of stuttering, frame rate drops all the times and now my GPU also got coil whine. fast forward to now, i fixed frame rates in a very few f2p games on steam. But even in games like Minecraft i get frame rates like 40fps on medium render distance and in 1.7.10 which is the best optimized Minecraft update. Also in MC i get frame drops to 5 fps for like one second and then it goes up again. Its like my GPU freezes completely sometimes for some reason. Even opening images in google, reddit, 4chan, ect. is kinda slow sometimes.
Please help me. I don't have the money to change my PSU or GPU right now... ;c
Current Specs of the computer i am currently operatiing:
-CPU: AMD FX-8320 Black Edition 8-Core Processor
(Currently clocked at its base clock of 3.5Ghz, is overclockable up to 5.0GHz)
-PSU: Corsair CX 600 (80+ Bronze Certified).
-GPU: AMD Radeon R9 280 OC
-Mobo: MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard (ATX, AM3+ Socket)
-RAM: (2x4) Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
-Case: Zalman Z11 High Performance Gaming Case
-Memory: 120GB Kingston SSD, 1TB Seagate HDD
-Cooling: 7x Case fans, 1 Air cooling CPU fan.
-Sound: Built-in Audio Boost 2
If you could help me solve this issue i would be SO happy! Thanks!
