About 4 years ago I built a budget gaming PC. I was able to find an ASUS crosshair iv formula motherboard on ebay cheap, I bought a pair of Asus HD 6850's and crossfired them, and eventually bought the FX 8150, which is the best/newest cpu that my motherboard supports. I also installed a Corsair Hydro Series H80 water cooler on the cpu.
Using the program built into CCC, I can overclock it to 4.3 MHz, and it is stable. Up until the last year or so of games, I was able to run most of them on medium-high settings as long as I disabled anti-aliasing.
I just bought a eVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0. I got a deal I basically couldn't turn down. Brand new, $260, and comes with Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knights.
I'd like to make sure my cpu doesn't overly bottleneck the performance of this card, but I have no idea how to overclock the cpu in BIOS. I watch video after video and tutorials, but many of them assume the reader knows what all the terms mean.
I'd kind of like a basic how-to, with some explanation on what everything means, and what values I should be changing, and what values I should leave as is. Thanks.
