Seems like for the most part, I should be able to keep my RX 480. Thanks for the help guys, I guess my wallets still alive until the next big Steam sale.

My gamepad broke a while ago I feel the pain. Thanks for the advice anyways

Just a question: if I were to invest in a Ryzen 5 1600X for high 1080p/low 1440p gaming, would my old RX 480 bottleneck it at all? Its the XFX reference model at 1288 MHz. This could potentially save me a lot of money if so. Thanks.

ASUS brand. it's fairly old, I got the original PC it was in at an auction. I don't know if that would contribute to the problem or... -

Stress Testing Issues

Its a AMD 970 chipset, I'm not sure if that's any good. I did try 4.1 and to no avail, it froze after about 1 1/2 mins. -
I'm pretty new to overclocking so I watched JayzTwoCents' video on how to overclock the FX-8350 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk&t=707s). Now I know I don't have the exact same motherboard as him, but I followed the directions he laid out more or less pretty faithfully. I first overclocked my CPU in the BIOS settings to 4.5 GHz I think. When it came to the stress-testing part, he said to download Prime95 to test the CPU. So I did the stress-test and about 30 seconds in, the PC froze up. I went back into the settings, reduced the clock speed to 4.35 GHz and tried the same stress-test again. It froze my computer again still but, interestingly, it ran for longer before it froze than it did when I set the speed to 4.5. So, I tried yet again at lower speeds and saw the same pattern of how long the PC ran during stress-testing before it froze vs. how fast the CPU was. I concluded that the motherboard I have is just not very good at overclocking because I ran the stress-test with all settings factory default in BIOS and it had no problems whatsoever. I just want to know if maybe anyone knows why this was happening, what was the culprit and should I think about an upgrade if I want to continue overclocking?

Might not be the budget you're looking for, but for under $100, the Aukey KM-G3 keyboard I got for $85 CAD is pretty solid. The Outemu Blue switches in it feel really nice plus its got RGB lighting without separate software installation. It may not come from a name brand like Corsair but its still a quality keyboard that I recommend for casual gaming.
