Issue was resolved by microsoft support.

When I try to open any settings (I.E. display options) it says apps cannot be opened. Anyway to fix this?

Please delete. No longer an issue

And how do you have a use for the Xbox? 

Since I really don't have near as much amount of time for gaming, I was thinking I can use the Xbox to play a few games before work or before going out with friends. I'm just trying to convince myself if it is a good buy

Depends... Do you have a gaming PC?

I do, but I don't really use it anymore.

My friend is offering me a Xbox One S W/ BF1 and Forza 6 for $200 and I was wondering what you guys thought about that. Is it worth it? Thanks in advance

1070 is best used for 144hz/1080p or 60fps 1440p. It would also be great at 2560x1080(1080p ultrawide) but Im not a fan really of this rez. It could also be used for 3440x1440(1440p ultrawide) but you would have to tone down some games to hit 60fps. 

 

1080-Is best used for anything 1440p or over. Its sweet spot would be 1440p/144hz or 3440x1440. It also can do 4k gaming but still cant quite get 60fps on all games but would do very nicely. 

 

 

What graphics card do you currently have?  Since you are at only 1080p these two cards might be overkill unless you play to get a new monitor or just want some solid future proofing. 

 

 

I currently have the Gigabyte GTX 970. I might be buying a new 1080p/144hz monitor while it would be cheaper around this time. It would be for solid performance and future proofing.

What resolution is the monitor you're using?

Currently 1920x1080

Hello, I am wondering what the major difference between these ti graphics cards are. (Besides the price). I am thinking about getting a GTX 1070, but didn't know if the 1080 is any better. (The 1070 is cheaper so I was going to go with that).

THanks,

A video card upgrade would be the next thing on that list, but only if it's not meeting your performance requirements.

 

Some more RAM would be next.

 

Thank you for your input.

Unless you're not okay with running anything but high/ultra settings, your 970 should be fine for that.

Geat to know, thank you for your feedback.

What do you find lacking about your system?

Do you just have a stack of money you have to blow or something?

 

I am just gathering opinions based on others'. I might upgrade to either 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz. So I was hoping to see if anyone would recommend a GPU upgrade.

SSD and that psu

Updated, I forgot to put my SSD

I am just going to gather some opinions about my system. Does anything (In your opinion) need/should be upgraded? (Besides my monitors. I know they are horrid).

• CPU
  I5-6600k (Skylake) (Not OC'ed)
• Motherboard
  ASUS Z170-AR
• RAM
  Crucial 8GB (DDR4)
• GPU
  Gigabyte GTX 970 (Not OC'ed)
• Case
  Enermax Mid-Tower
• Storage
  1 TB WD Blue and 500 GB Random HD and 240GB SSD
• PSU
  Rosewill 650 Watt
• Display(s)
  Dell 24' 1080p and Compact 720p

I am currently having the same problem, but with mine, it happens on videos (Youtube/Twitch). Game are not affected. Im not sure what card you own, but you are not alone my friend.

It will run minesweeper at max settings as well

Maybe, that's a lot of processing power. Not sure if the CPU is up to the challenge.

It was just a prank. The computer is fine. It should last you a long while.

It should run vanilla Minecraft at a steady 30 FPS. Im just estimating though.

I currently have the AZIO MGK1, you should go with the Corsair. The space bar broke the first few days with the keyboard and pisses me off during gaming. Go for the better quality.

The list you pasted is blank good sir.

Also, I5-6600k is a good CPU, I enjoy using it

That's a $30 cooler and you want to overclock an entire 1 GHz? Yeah, good luck buddy.

 

Also your motherboard doesn't support overclocking, FYI.

 

 

 

^ What he said. Get the ASUS Z170-AR, I have it and it allows for overclocking. For cooling, I also have that same cooler, but I have not overclocked. The cooler is okay for overclocking, but I'm not sure to that extent.

What i5 are we talking about here?

 

I suggest snagging a GTX 950 or RX 460.

 

 

I was going to say GTX 950 at the very least.

Also, what is your budget for the processor and GPU?

I went from an AMD FX-8350 to I5-6600k, there was a HUGE difference. Most games with the FX were dipping below 60fps. When I installed the I5, it was a different story. I have yet to have a game dip below 60fps. So imo get the I5. It will probably give you better results.
