help with part finding

lorddjj · November 12, 2016

my budget is around 250 or less, i am trying to find new or used (new prefer) i5 + mobo, or zeon +mobo.

to elaborate on why , i have a 8350 that has not wanted to work correctly, i have a gtx 970 to pair with it but it doesn't work to well. for me specifically i play league and do so competitively and i cant play hardly because league almost maxes out 1 core and leaves a second core at 50 percent then my other 6 cores arent at any load hardly, the problem is when someone casts a spell there is a massive drop in frames from 300 or so to 18 , this leaves several seconds for of really choppy ness, and i get at times where ill cast a spell then it wont show the effect and it will just happen no animation , this is preety bad for me now with the preseason patch, i used to be a akali main so when you go in your really threading the needle. this could be a mobo or cpu problem , and i really dont have any funds to just buy one or the othere. i would like just a fresh start , and allmost everyone says to get a i5. and also i have major audio and video unsync in most open world games , i cant hardly play them because cut scens are fucked. and i get insanely low fps in wow , so it all point to cpu and hopefully that the problem. i do edit video and have thought about zeon procesor, but at this point i just want something that works and will keep up with my 970. it hard to play a competitive match ( for a actual team) when your having issues that cant be controlled at the time, have defiently lost games when in a big team fight and everything derps out and i cant combo or even see whats going on.

my current build is

8350 @4.0 (have gone all the way up to 5 and it litteraly doesnt help the problem)

asus r2.0 pro mobo

gtx 970 msi (none gaming)

1866 ddr3 ram

700 watt psu ( bought it because it was on sale)

windows 10 pro ( have tried all forms of windows and it doesnt help)

any help would be appreciated, i am a really big believer in amd build for budget gaming but i havent had time to do any research on this exact topic.
