Hello,
Currently I use the aforementioned CPU with a 4GB GPU and whilst they certainly aren't bad together, the CPU is getting a little ... Warm ... (it'll melt the sun).
Current setup:
Motherboard Asrock FM2A75M-DGS
GPU GeForce GTX 770 4GB
CPU AMD X4 750K (4.1GHz)
This has been sufficient for the backup PC, but now I will be relying more on that, I want to put some pennies into the CPU.
£80 budget, please don't feel obliged to offer advice no CPUs past this amount, because I have bills to pay alongside enjoying computer games.
As a guide on my performance at the moment, these games run on max settings:
Arma 3 @ 30-40 FPS
Eve Online @ 60 FPS (100+ if not limited lol)
RoboCraft @ 80+ FPS
Planetside 2 @ 50+ FPS
Heaven Unidine Benchmark produces a score of 1400 or 2400 IIRC.
The biggest problem really is the heat. I've got a new fan that I'll install over the next few days, but will likely still want to upgrade as tests show the CPU running at 70% or higher with load spikes occasionally causing FPS lag momentarily - mostly in Planetside.
I know I could turn down graphic settings, which I may do pending the new fan's temperature regulation
I will also be getting an extra exhaust fan, as the case does get warm near the GPU.
Any and all useful comments welcome! No doubt I'll have a few comments to read in the morning with my breakfast.
First post, first hello to the community,
Cheers
PS. Forgot to post this earlier and now it's still on here - I just intalled the new fan and I am 100% certain everything is wired up as before, but I have no display. GPU is powering up, but I have no USB power either. Any advice here would be welcome!!
Good night.
