Is there a benefit moving to the new Core i5 over my current Core i5?

Question by Don from United States | Answered by Anthony Garreffa | Processors | Apr 17, 2016 5:45 PM CDT

I have an older Z77 with I5 3570K and was thinking about upgrading my system. How much benefit would the new I5 processor give me compared to the older one I have now? My system is mainly for gaming and I've got an R9 280X right now which I'm teetering on upgrading as well but, want to see how the new cards fair in the coming months.

For $300-$400 which GPU should I buy for 1080p 60FPS gaming?

Question by William from United States | Answered by Anthony Garreffa | Graphics Cards | Apr 13, 2016 11:21 PM CDT

I currently have a GTX 750 Ti, I'm looking to upgrade to be able to maximize graphics quality of The Division and Dark Souls 3, (Not currently looking at VR). By maximize I mean playability. I want the game to run at 1080P 60FPS at all times on the current 1x 23" Monitor I have. I'm also on a budget of around $300-$400. Should I wait to see what pascal will be priced around (I'm sure ridiculous) or should I pull the trigger on a R9 Fury or...? idk, thats why I'm asking. ahah Thanks!

Do I need a whole room for VR gaming, or could I use my study?

Question by Mac from United States | Answered by Anthony Garreffa | Gaming | Mar 19, 2016 12:45 PM CDT

I'm super interested in VR gaming on the PC - it seems to be all we hear about now.

I'm a big FPS gamer, I am totally into Battlefield 4. So, my question, well questions, relates to VR. Firstly, am I going to need a whole new dedicated room in my home for VR gaming or could I just game in VR in my study as I do now? I'm concerned about bumping into my desk and chairs etc.

The second part of the question, do I have to game in VR when standing up to gain the best experience? I mean, what if I just sat down on my chair as usual and gamed in VR? I'm a keyboard and mouse guy, and I think it would take a lot of adjustment or feel strange to game while standing up.

I'd love to hear your opinions here. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new VR rig and VR equipment, but I want to know what you think first.

Will overclocking my Core i7-4790 improve my gaming performance?

Question by Giric from Philippines | Answered by Anthony Garreffa | Processors | Mar 10, 2016 11:53 PM CST

Good day sir, I have already read about this from other forums but I just want to know your opinion. I have an i7-4790 paired with H97 mobo and I know i can't do OC. My question is do I/We really need to overclock the cpu for gaming? or will overclocking give a big impact (let's say fps) in gaming? Thank you.
