I need help

[Fedora]

Optical Drive ASUS SH-244DB

Storage TOSHIBA DT01ACA200

OS 8.1 64 Bit

[i_build_nanosuits]

CPU AMD FX 8310

Memory DDR3 16GB

GPU MSI GTX 980

MOBO M52_M32BC(Socket 942)

PSU EVGA 600W 

 that is about all i got but if you need more info to determine tell me and ill see if i can find out some more

i would get this and re-use your memory:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.99 @ NCIX US)

Motherboard: ASRock Z97 PRO3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($80.98 @ Newegg)

Total: $310.97

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

This will have better performance than the i5-6400 out of the box, and it's unlocked so in the future you can do some overclocking and get even more performance out of it if needed, but even at stock it wont limit the performance of your GTX980 in games.

honestly this sounds better but you did make sure my compontents will fit such as the mobo fitting in the tower and all the other compatibility etc.

if you want to make sure the motherboard will fit in the case just pick a microATX motherboard, those will certainly fit...i can't find detailed spec for your machine, knowing the size of your current board would be nice but i assume microATX will fit:

well i cant find specs on my current board either because it is a exclusive one that only comes with the prebuilt is there any measurments for the board you linked

[Fedora]

looks like it will fit to me also is it possibly for my board to not come off my machine and 1 last thing will i need to just place my memory in and boom it there or will i need to move it over somehow

ok forget that question but one more thing are you sure that that the cpu will not bottleneck because the mhz are lower than my current or are the mhz irrelevant

You cant compare processors with just megahertz. For example my 3770 at 4ghz will outperform an amd fx 9590 which runs at 5ghz.

if you want an overclocking cpu..then you probably the the i5 6600k

I don't really think its necessary tho

skylake is newer and will be upgradeable atleast once...maybe twice...haswell is basically over

they will not release anything that will be a worthy upgrade to the 6600K on the socket 1151...they never do.

Skylake is only a few % faster than haswell and it's a lot more expensive and this user already own 16GB of DDR3 RAM he could re-use so skylake in this case is absolutely NOT worth it.

thanks for your help guys i will be going with the parts that nansuit gave me now the hard part will be convincing my dad that the mhz dont matter because i ask him and he just says that its a quad core with 3.4mhz and should be fast enough but you guys cant help me with that but im grateful of the help

what games/game types are you playing the most and at what resolution?

what games/game types are you playing the most and at what resolution?

payday 2 1920x1080 bf4 1920x1080 Killing Floor 2 1920x1080 everything maxed on all games i have a few other games that i play often but arent worth mentioning so i figured my hardware would be overkill and thats not the case but hopefully the new cpu and mobo will resolve this

yeah...BF4 should run well on your current hardware though right? maybe not 100FPS+ but at least 60FPS consistently?

you will get better performance with a better CPU though, the GTX980 is a very strong GPU and you do need a good CPU to be able to get the most out of it in games.

AMD FX have okay multi-threaded performance, but the per core performance (single-threaded) is fairly low by today's standard and this hurt the CPU performance in games a lot at times.

Thanks for the help but when i use a different board and new cpu will just moving my memory be fine and its there or will i have to do something els im not very famialar with these type of things

just remove the memory form the old board and install on the new one and it should work fine.
