Hi all,

Im running an amd a10 5800k w/ 8gb's of ram, 1tb of mem, no gpu. My PC has gotten to the point where i cant even play games now (i.e CSGO, LoL) without my game literally freezing and crashing. I could commonly run the games at ~150 fps on low/medium settings and that was fine to me, i dont really mind game detail. I know a decent amount about computers but not as much as you guys im assuming. I believe my cpu might be overheating but i just want to clarify the issue before i go out spending my money. I read that the cpu might now be on tight enough to the motherboard so i tried that and also read that switching the ram sticks around might help but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Sitting at my desktop it was sitting around ~50 *c and when i started csgo it went down to 20ish degrees, i went into a casual game and my game froze.

A buddy of mine gave me a gtx 560ti and a i7 860 and i plan on putting the card in when i get 2 6pin connectors. Would you recommend i put the new cpu in or just keep the a10 5800k? also should i buy a new cooler? im using the stock cooler that came with the pc and i got this rig a little over 2 years ago.
