just some guy

No, I maxed out the settings including max res. and Yes. my piece of shit monitor only has a VGA input, though in the manual it has DVI also.

Hell, if Pentiums were capable of hyperthreading then its better than i3s.

Yeah. That's what I thought from the beginning but I wanted future-proof in terms of upgrading.

Ummm. I think it does. See, most of my games does this during gameplay and cutscenes (specially cutscences) if I max out the settings. But there was no problem when I set everything low (just dropped frames on heavy games).

Hey dudez! I was just wondering if pairing my R7 265 with a Pentium G3258 is a good idea. I mean, will there be a bottleneck? Visual impact? or any whatsoever? As of now, I'm having a major bottleneck. I have an AMD A4-3400 APU - a 2.7 dual core piece of shit!. Not only am I suffering low and dropping frame rates, I'm also experiencing blurry visuals from my games. Specially during cutscenes. The Pentium is also a dual core which worries me(also the i3 but has hyperthreading which can be used as a quad core proc. which is better). I have decided to go for the Pentium instead of the Athlon x4 860k cuz it has a long upgrade path. I wouldn't be asking this and i'd go for an i3 or i5 but since I'm changing my processor that would also mean that I should change my crappy FM1 mobo. If, in the end of the day go for the Pentium. It would take another 6 months or even a year to save up. So, suggestions anyone?

Oh? ...I believe FM1's top tier cpus are today's crap.

Thanks everyone for your replies but scratch everything. I've decided to get a new Mobo cuz the CPU socket is obsolete - FM1. Oh, for everyone askin' what Mobo I currently have, it's a crappy ASUS F1A55 m lk r2.0.

Hey guys! I was just wondering, is it possible for an ancient motherboard to read an SSD? (For the word "ancient" - I mean a mobo that was released long before the SSD). That's all Thnx..^^

Hey guys! sup'? So, here I am typing like an idiot... I know SSDs are waaaay better than HDD, but they costs much and the space is "heellaaa-low?" Now, I'm upgrading my sh**ty PC. I already have a 500 gb seagate barracuda drive aaannddd... with all the games, movies,porn(I got a collection and it just keeps comin'),softwares, music and even the O.S, the space is getting low. Fortunately, I have enough papers to buy new drive. My dumb questions is.... should I go for an expensive, low-space drive which is SSD or a hella space, cheaper drive which is HDD.

I would spend more for the GPU. I already have a crappy low-end card - Geforce 210. I just wanted a processor that can handle every game and a not-so-high-end GPU on the market. I found the latest Nvidia GTX card in a store and it costs like hell.. 30000 Php?!! (=$670) for a frickin' card?

I currently have a 1366x768 monitor and it would take a while to upgrade to 1080. My budget for CPU&GPU is around $250 and I intend to play modern games for like...50-60ish or better frames, not necessarily maxed out.

Yeah, I think the 860k is the A-10 without the iGPU. Therefore, the 860k the most powerful among FM2+ cpus.

I just want to play modern games with 60ish fps and not necessarily maxed out settings. And yeah, I don't play much MMORPGs or RTS but adventure games, first- P.S, TPS. I'm also planning on playing MKX.

Idk...another year maybe..or so.
