Best way to maximize performance from my set up

[Teach 424]

Wanting to find ways of getting the best performance from my set up, I'm new to PC gaming and am in need of advice. 

I have:

I5 750

Amd sapphire 470

1tb hard drive

240gb SSD

700watt power supply

 

Thanks

Can you expand what you are trying to do? 

 

Are you looking to upgrade the PC components? What are you using the PC for?

Assuming you're not looking for upgrade tips, the best way to maximize performance is make sure background tasks aren't stealing power from your games, turn down settings as much as possible and target playing older games to begin with, and overclock the GPU.

Assuming you are set with your current hardware, there's little you can do to improve performance. I doubt you spent extra on an overclocking board for a mere first gen i5, but if you did, that's the obvious first choice. Overclocking the graphics card won't get you anywhere in this case, it's gonna be drawing more frames than your CPU can push out.

 

If you wanted some suggestions to expand, there are of course cheap Xeons for your socket.
