[Castdeath97]

No, not at all. By the way its 3.4 Ghz.

If the temps are fine than everthing is OK.

But seriously, safe up for an upgrade

you are not killing your cpu

but playing gta 5 at 800x600 on low, you might as well be killing yourself

[Nyb_Valkyrie]

I think he is trying to say that that is a terrible resolution. Can you run some benchmarks and some stress tests like AIDA64 then report back with the temps and bench scores? Also play GTA V for a while then also take note of the temps and let us know your state of cooling. Depending on how you are liking your performance it may be time to upgrade to a quad core Haswell or maybe Skylake if you can afford it. Also a 780 ti, 980, or 980 ti would be nice if you feel comfortable with that. Of course if you went this route you would basically need to build a whole new system.

I think that if he had the desire or the money to do so he wouldn't be gaming on 800x600

what i meant dude, is that gta 5 is probably one of the best games to come out for pc

and playing it at your settings doesn't do it justice. 

when i didnt have a decent gpu yet, i held back playing on awesome games, and waited until i got a gpu, just so i could play the games at HOW they were meant to be played

the experience of playing gta 5 with good settings is definitely worth waiting for a  gpu
