i got the fx-8350 with ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z and i want a new cpu i want PCI Express 3.0 so a intel upgrade but i dont want the i7-4770k since the price of upgrading for a few extra fps is not worth it so what can be the next? i was looking at i7-4960X since i heard thats a beast of a cpu i7-4930K its better then 4770k and cheeper then 4960x what do you guys think i need a upgrade i will see the changes on im not gonna overclock since i dont have the fans or airflow to back it up im using Corsair h70 AIO watercooler

i usualy use my own settings but i feel like there is a bottleneck in my system but where? im having a hard time runing some games at max settings at 1920x1080 or 5760x1080

wich games?

and are they downloaded torrent autoinstalled games or legitimely bought games?

Your system should run them all to perfection except as i said some badly optimised single-threaded monster old tech online MMO's like ESO, planetside2 WoW

and some other indi games like dayZ (because all those games are Single-threaded games based on old game engine and they require Tremendous amount of processing to be done on a single core and even the fastest intel have a hard time running them at acceptable framerates, it's better but they still sucks..(not the CPU the games i mean))

I see you run a GTX680, this will allow for highest settings at 1080P but PROBABLY NOT the highest ANTI_ALIASING settings...you are looking at 2xMSAA or 4xMSAA in most modern games at 1080P....1080P on 3 displays, yeah some games you will have to tweek the settings...crysis 3 and metro LL require SLI of GTX 780 to max out..at 1080p

first of all sorry for late repsond dind't have any notification about a new comment on this topic

secound the catalyst drivers dindt do anything i could do before so not much improvments

third I went to pulling my whole pc apart finding a shitload of dust on my rad not surprising so i cleaned it of changed the thermal paste fliped som fans around got a little better airflow made a ghetto mod since my pc is under my dest the intake for the h70 pulled hot air from my 780ti so i mounted a 120mm fan on the outside of the case pulling the cold air to my cpu did a little overclock now im on arround 4,5 ghz not much but it helped pushed the fps up to above 60 fps in every game running 5760x1080

so thanks could i get your skype? or any way to contact you? me and a friend are going to make a business fixing pc troubleshooting and so on would be great to have some1 to get a little extra help when we are stuck
