I was thinking about getting an Asus nvidia geforce gtx 760 but i have an AMD A8-5600k, would it run ok? like good, or is my cpu shitty? because when i bought it. they said it was a good gaming cpu, which i kinda think is bullshit.

that argument about hyper threading being useful in games have been going on since the i7 920. rarely do games utilized that intel feature in a way that bumping up your i5 clocks to compensate cannot do.Its true that overclocking will improve performance, but tons of games can use 8+ threads now. A user on overclockers tested out a 2.0Ghz 8 core Xeon (16 thread) and when playing games saw utilization across all 16 threads in many games, which made its low clock speed matter much less.
I think the real point, is that having a quad isnt a bottleneck yet, not so much that the games cannot utilize all the threads.
Its quite interesting how different games are threaded:


And very interesting the difference of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 threading

Guys a few weeks ago my pc blue screened now it doesn't boot, I clicked new tab on google chrome, and it turned off, now every time I turn it on it says "your PC has ran into a problem" with the error code "BAD_POOL_HEADER, I google this and it said could be either my ram or my harddrive well I have replaced ram and tried a different hard drive from an older computer, and it done the same thing, my pc boots fine in safe mode, just not in normal mode, I have windows 8.1 they said it has caused BSODs but whenever I try reinstalling windows8 from my disk it does work, because of the BSOD, any answers?

Great. I would recommend the H105 though, similar performance to the H110, but with a newer pump design and uses 120mm fans, so you have more options there.At the moment I have a Advance 8102B0 X11 Gamer PC Case Plastic ATX White, and air flow is pretty shit, and right now I have a limited budget so I'm probably going to get the case before anything else, as my ram fried about a week ago, so I haven't been able to reply on this, so at the Moment I'm using my iPad
