Thanks!

Could you elaborate point 3, 4, 6 and 7, please? By the way, 1080p Gaming 60+ fps, is my goal. (Pretty adequate, I won't be playing anything like Crysis 3, by the way.)

What do you mean? My budget was $1000.00 USD.

Good day! I have come across a thought that simply boggles me. I did some research in the past, though I can't trace the exact source where I found the information. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE in PC Gaming, that's what. My question is: How do I obtain the most out of my PC for gaming? Now, I know that there are programs for GPU overclocking such as 'MSI Afterburner' and, that you can overclock your CPU through your BIOS, but besides that, there are more ways to maximize performance on Windows 8.1 64-Bit. Best GPU Overclocking Program. Excellent Game Optimization Program ( AMD Raptr, or is it not meant for that? ) Smooth Tactics for Best Performance in W8.1 ( For example, turning all Windows details to low, etc.? ) Tips and tricks when it comes to eliminating programs that slow down performance during games. ( Background programs that nobody uses, for example. This is linked to point number 2 and 3) Part of my intention is to get the most FPS out of my PC, as well as performance without going too extreme with OC or temperatures. http://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/199974-199657-199658-200071-201469 ( This leads to a comparison table where my XFX DD R9 270X clearly overwhelms the other 270X's available. Clearly, I have a 60hz monitor, so ideally, running games at 60 average FPS is my goal - which I have done before. You can check out my PC specs within my Profile, I believe. But yes, this is not only meant to help me - it is to have a common ground for anyone to be able to obtain information of optimal OC programs, game optimization software, tips and tricks for max performance in Windows 8.1 64-Bit...

You conclude my thoughts, basically. Thanks for the help! I'll tell my friend to get the Windows 8.1 64-Bit OEM, alright!

Seems fair, though, what's all about the professional OS? Just a fancy gimmick to obtain another 40 dollars?
-
His PC has 8 GB of RAM, an AMD FX-8350, etc. Pretty High-End, by adequate standards, but he's stuck with what OS buy to choose. Windows 8.1 64-Bit OEM, then?
-
He wants it for gaming and other entry-level activities, but he's curious about the professional aspect. What's the difference? I'm referring solely to the OEM by now; Professional would add what, more OS speed? Security?

Good day! I've been asked the following: ''What Windows OS should I get? Honestly, I want Windows 8.1, but when I was browsing Best Buy, I noticed how there were two versions of Windows 8.1, I was confused! Should I buy Windows 8.1 64-Bit Professional OEM, Windows 8.1 64-Bit OEM, or the non-OEM equivalent of the two?'' I honestly cannot answer said question. The difference between those four, is that the non-OEM are much more expensive. I mean, very expensive.

I did some research but couldn't comprehend what people said... Please help, anyone tech savvy?

The question may sound, idiotic, perhaps, but bear with me. My logic concludes that my AMD CPU, an FX 8350, will work flawlessly with an AMD GPU, for example, an AMD R9 280. But then, what if I swapped it with an: EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Superclocked Graphics Card? AMD CPU+NVIDIA GPU... doesn't sound logical. From my experience with sharing products from nemesis companies ( Xbox 360 and Ipod - I know, consoles. Ugh. ), something tells me that AMD would have it that Nvidia GPU's would work less effectively on their CPU, or likewise. Then, is it technically true? AMD FX 8350 + AMD R9 280 = Success! AMD FX 8350 + NVIDIA GTX 760 = Scrap? Help!

That was my initial guess, but marketing finds a way into a consumer's mind... I'll stay put on my choice of getting the ASUS DirectCU II TOP 3GB 280 (non-x) then. Thank you all!

Good day, everyone. I find myself troubled with this question; I thought some would be able to answer it. There are two cards within my budget I would like to purchase, though I cannot decide which it actually better since their price is similar from the vendor I am possibly willing to obtain one of them from. SAPPHIRE TOXIC 270X 2GB or ASUS DIRECTCU II 280 ( Not x ) 3 GB. - I have investigated their differences dearly. I honestly can assume that the Sapphire variant is rather more powerful, being considered the king of all of the 270x's. Although, the ASUS 280 is inevitably a tier higher in the product range... but if we resume everything down to specs, then the Sapphire variant results victorious - while taking some heavy losses, obviously. I am inclined towards the Sapphire TOXIC 270x, but... the 280 has me intrigued. Which is considerably better? Or is the ASUS 280 just significantly better due to it's 3G? The Sapphire version of the 270X clearly shows some teeth and claws.
