  1. Cool. And would you say a good cpu cooler like a noctua is worth it?
  2. I appreciate both of you guys are trying to help out and have your own opinions on what hardware is best, and I value that and I will take a look at what you both said and research further. @goto10 @Chris V I also think that I will follow your advice and switch to an AMD centred build. It seems as if those chipsets are far better value for money with much greater potential. The GPUs I will have to look into further. My brother recently got a RX580 and it's doing amazing work, but in the future, I think it will drop quickly in the rankings. Thanks so much for your help! One final question is does the quality of motherboard make that big a difference?
  3. Does the motherboard type make too much of a difference you reckon?
  4. I agree that the GPU needs to go, any advice on which one you reckon would be best? I've also been contemplating switching the core build to AMD, I just wanted to know what options I potentially had before I decided on doing that.
  5. Overclocked the GPU, hasn't done much to be honest. The motherboard and RAM change will do it you reckon?
  6. Hi, I was hoping for some advice on what to do with my computer to increase performance (details listed below) through modifying components, or changing settings, or both. Current PC: CPU: i5 6500 3.2GHz CPU Fan: Stock Intel Motherboard: AsRock Z170 Pro4 Memory: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400 GPU: Zotac 1050Ti Mini SSD: Kingston SV300 120GB HDD: WD 1TB Blue + WD 2TB Blue PSU: Corsair CX500 Fans: 3 120mm, 1 front, 2 rear 1. Budget: Additional spend no more than £500 (GBP) Location: UK 2. Aim Primarily I'd like to improve game performance, particularly in games like Siege (this is my main game), to run at 144FPS+ at Very high settings 3. Monitors I'll only use one monitor, with the intention of getting PC performance to justify 144Hz 4. Peripherals None needed 5. Why are you upgrading? Well it's a combination of upgrading and modifying I'd hope, I recently tried overclocking my CPU (using this guide), but temperatures reached too high. I'd like to improve my computer as it's been struggling recently with newer game titles. Also, I was thinking of perhaps adding some RGB strips in the future and was wondering how to ensure compatibility with that.
