( I think I posted this in the wrong section, sorry >.< )
Hey all, I wanna start this off by saying I am quite awful when it comes to hardware. All of it goes over my head and I get confused rather easily. I use my computer mostly for gaming, MMO's typically, as well as some single player stuff. I would basically like to run everything maxed out at 60 FPS.
I have a 1440p IPS monitor, if that matters at all. ( Ghosting isn't an issue or anything like that, im just getting low frame-rates in a lot of games, I dont know if something in my computer is bottle-necking, or what. I'm hoping somebody can tell me if it is or not based on my specs. )
The Specs are as follows! ( I don't understand overclocking, so assume nothing is )
OS: Windows 7
CPU: Fx 8350 8-core 4.0 GHz, 16mb Total Cache
GPU: Nvidia GTX 680 2Gb Ram ( Cpu-z says Core is 1084 MHz, Memory 3004 MHz under clocks, I have no idea what this means but it may be relevant
)
Ram: 8Gb DDR3
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme4
I have no idea how to check what type of hard-drive I have, or if that is even relevant to frame rate and stuttering / games freezing up a lot.
Apologies if I have missed anything. Can anyone let me know what sort of upgrade I should be looking for? Suggestions are welcome. I'd prefer if any suggestions were future-proof for a decent length of time, without being -insanely- expensive. I don't really have a specific budget in mind but I wouldn't want to be paying for like the absolute top tier.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help
