Whats fan Speed at? It might be throttling considering its a 760. Check that and reduce any prior overclock back to factory of the reference version should fix your problem. 

i will actually try to OC the CPU

Usage and temps? 

if usage is not optimized to 100%, what are the reasons holding it back?

Thanks

I just got this GTX 760 Hawk installed on my computer, and it perform worst than my Asus GTX 560 Ti ... I get lower FPS in all games.

I have video output plugged on the video card slot, have nvidia driver up to date. This card requires 2x 8pin and I have enough power supporting it. 
Not sure why it is still underperforming, please help.

System Specs:

Intel i7-860 

12GB DDR3 1333mhz 

500GB 7200RPM HDD

Corsair CX750 PSU

Thanks

Both are OK, I'd personally get the Corsair. Is the CX450M not an option for you?

Thanks for the input, trying to keep 500W to power a GTX 670

Are you looking at the CX with the grey label? Those are better and around the same price.

it is the CX with green label.

Corsair CX500 or EVGA 500B,

Which one is more reliable in your opinion? Both are at the same cost. 

Thanks

Please go 550W or better yet 650W just in case you want more stuff in the future.

if i don't need a GPU i should be fine right? 

Intel Pentium G3258

AsRock Z97 Anniversay mobo

Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 CPU cooler

RipjawsX 2x4GB 1600mhz

Intel 520 Series 180GB SSD

WD Black 750GB HDD 

Asus GTX 670 or EVGA GTX 760 video card (still deciding which one, but they both do recommend a minimum of 500W PSU) 

Considering Antec VP-450 PSU, it will be great if I can slightly overclock the CPU with this PSU as well. 

Thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions! I tried all of them except that oven one, but I'm pretty sure it is indeed dead.

So now the question is if I should wait for boxing day to buy a new GTX 1060? 

definitely wait for boxing day.

As long as you are overclocking it a bit and not concerned about getting triple digit FPS, you should be fine with that cpu.

Once you start going over 75+ FPS, the CPU becomes increasingly important.

 

Now, do you already have the CPU+MOBO already or are you going to be purchasing it?

already have cpu and mobo, just looking to upgrade the GPU to R9 390 8GB

Will the i7-950 bottlenecks a R9 390 8GB? 

Planning to play Battlefield 1 and Titan Fall 2

Thanks

It could still be an issue with the mouse. You should try a wired mouse (or at the very least a different mouse) just to be safe. 

I will try that

A G4400 should be more than capable to download something without breaking everything.....something funny is going on. I'd run a stress test on the CPU, RAM, and on the storage to make sure there are no issues there. Then I'd run an antivirus and anti malware. And if that turns up negative, then I'd reinstall windows and make sure everything (including drivers) was installed correctly. 

 

Also, why are you using an HD5450? The G4400's iGPU is good enough for what you're doing (unless you're running more than two monitors).

Thanks for the suggestion. 
I am using the HD5450 for the HDMI port lol ... the AsRock mobo is too low end that it does not has a HDMI port.

The MK270 combo tends to be kind of funky. My sister has one and it will just randomly lag to hell and back.

but the mouse only lags when i was downloading software, otherwise it is smooth.

Finished building a budget system yesterday, with an Intel Pentium G4400 

A little bit of disappointment, when I was downloading software like Google Chrome, Skype, and Microsoft Office.

The mouse was lagging so much that I cannot navigate smoothly. However, it has no problem when it was not downloading things. I checked CPU Utilization, sometimes it has spikes up to 100% on the CPU

I am using Logitech MK270 Wireless mouse and keyboard, I checked with Device Manager and made sure the software for the mouse is the MOST updated one. 

Not too sure what causes the lagging, but it feels like the G4400 is not capable to operate when downloading software. Anyway to fix this? Will overclocking the G4400, giving it more processing power fixes this slowness while downloading issue? Does this has anything to do with Windows 10 updates? But I have not experience this slowness problem while downloading with my i7-4770K system though. 

System Spec: 

Intel Pentium G4400 at stock

AsRock H110M-DGS

Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133mhz 2x4GB

AMD 5450 1GB video card for display only

Corsair CX430

Intel 530 Series 180GB SSD

Windows 10 Pro

Thank you for help. 

Just like they did for GTX 970 and 980 Ti Golden Edition ... 

Any leaks from saying msi will be doing the same for GTX 10 series? 

Thanks

Hello,

I am wondering what is the smallest size of curved screen monitor on the market now. 

I want to go triple curved monitor setup. and smallest is 27"? 

Thanks

i am using an EVGA 850 G2, very solid PSU

if you really want a 850W, look for the G2/G3 like others recommended

Yes, it'll perform admirably for a good few years doing what you want.

Thank you for your input.

Having used multiple Pentium and A6 machines (thankfully not owning them though), I cannot suggest them if the user plans on keeping their build for more than a year or two for basic desktop tasks anymore.

Do you think a A8-7600 will be perfect fit then? (4 cores, and R7 integrated graphics) 

$50 CAD cheaper than an i3-6100

1 minute ago, Drak3 said:

I wouldn't recommend either of those.

A modest Core i3 or A8 would be a better fit.

Do i really need an i3 or A8 for those daily usage? 

Purpose: Daily use, checking emails, YouTube, Netflix, Skype, Microsoft Offices

These 2 CPUs  are about the same price. I just want to know which one is a better choice.

1. A6-7400K APU

2. Intel G3258 with Integrated Graphics

I do not plan to get a dedicated GPU, I will be using the graphics power from CPU. 

I want a CPU that is reliable and won't die on me in the next 3 years at least. 

Thank you

Try this, the mobo should have a killer lan chip in it.

Thank you for the link. I will update again if it solves the problem. 

yes indeed on the mobo box it says Killer Ethernet ... lol 

that's why i am confused when the Bigfoot Lan driver is not working.
