It’s just not cutting it. Even with an overclock to 4.5 GHz, I still can't get anywhere near a playable experience.
In public matches, my FPS is great—usually staying north of 100—but once I jump into Faceit or tournaments, things fall apart during the late game. The frame rate tanks down to 30-50, making it completely unplayable.
What kind of resale value could I expect for a Core i7-3930K, an MSI X79A-GD45-4D Intel X79 Socket, and 16 GB of HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz RAM?
Hey there,
Can anyone weigh in on this build? My budget is capped at around $450-$500.
I’m currently running a Core i7-3930K, but let's be honest—it just isn't cutting it if I want to play PUBG competitively. My focus is strictly on PUBG.
I was leaning towards the Ryzen 5 3600, but looking at the FPS numbers, it seems like the i5-9600K maintains a 5-10% lead. I'd love to hear what you all think.
Is overclocking an absolute necessity for this CPU?
Or can I just leave it alone?
He's asking $1,100 just for the motherboard.
Is it actually worth my time hunting down a used 2011 socket motherboard on eBay?
I’ve got an I7-3930k sitting around gathering dust right now. I was thinking about building a rig around it, handing my current setup over to my brother, and then just picking up a new GPU on the side. Does that plan make any sense?
Strictly for gaming purposes.
I’m thinking about handing down my current motherboard and CPU to my brother, then upgrading myself to something a bit more substantial.
Hey everyone, I’m looking at upgrading my CPU and motherboard and would love to get some feedback on my plan.
Here’s what I’m currently running:
Intel Core i7 Desktop PC
I7 3770
16GB HyperX DDR3
NVIDIA RTX Gaming PC
Corsair HX650
Nepton 240m
An OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD and a 500GB HDD
I’m planning to swap out the motherboard, processor, and RAM. My budget is sitting somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000...
