The only real issue in the build is the Pentium. It's just not as strong as it used to be.

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

And yes, the pentium is quiet good when overclocked, but it only is a dual core without hyperthreading, and some games requires at least 4 threads minimum just to launch

For that price range, I'd replace the 370 with a gtx 960

 

Are you fucking with me? The R9-380 is better than both of those... And at the same price as the 960.

i forgot about the 380. I advised the 960 because a friend's 960 performed way better than my 270
