I built a gaming machine, I used what was available to me and what I could afford. When I play games, it doesn't seem like I am getting nearly the frame rate that I thought I would, and it often reduces considerably in frame rate during gameplay for sometimes minute or more at a time. When I hook up multiple screens...forget it.
I am wondering if there are certain sub-par components that I used that maybe won't let the better components work to their ability, and that is why I am here. I would be grateful if someone could number the components that I list in order of best to worst, and/or maybe make some recommendations as to what my next upgrade moves should be.
Thanks so much, and I really appreciate the time!
COMPONENTS:
Power Supply: Seasonic X-Series 1050w
Motherboard: GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 Ultra Durable
Processor: AMD Black Edition FX‑6350 3.9 GHz 6‑Core
Graphics Gards: 2 X Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OverClock Edition
2 X DVI (each card)
1 X HDMI (each card)
1 X Display Port (each card)
Crossfire capable - (doesn't seem to help much)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series - 4X 2gb (8 total)
HD: Transcend SSD430 Solid State HD - SATA 6Gb/S 128Gb storage
OS: Windows 7
Cooling: Desktop case with side vents
3-4 in. fan mounted inside rear on the tower pulling air in
6 in fan mounted in the front where the drives would sit, blowing air out
Graphics cards each have 2 fans and I generally put them to max during load
CPU fan
Did I miss anything? I don't overclock, sometimes I enable crossfire but it doesn't seem to make it any better, and won't allow me more than 2 monitors, but that's a different issue.
Thank you again!
