Gaming PC setup focused on competitive titles like CS GO.
Hey there, tech enthusiasts! I've got some questions for you. I'm thinking about getting a new PC, but it's definitely not just for playing Counter-Strike. I'm planning to upgrade with a bunch of high-end parts like the EVA Graphics GTX 980, I7 5960X, and other components. I'm curious if this setup can handle CS:GO smoothly at 300+ FPS without dropping. Also, what overclocking adjustments would help me get the most stable performance? I know CS:GO tends to favor single-core or single-thread performance, but since I'm not a tech expert, I'm a bit confused. Please keep your Danish English clear and thanks in advance!
Why would anyone need CS:GO running at 300 FPS? That’s only necessary if your screen can handle it. Even then, those builds are way too much for CS:GO.
It's about needing a monitor that matches your gaming performance without constant upgrades. Running twice the FPS you see on your monitor can help get closer to 288 FPS, but whether that’s practical depends on your hardware and budget.
It seems like you're asking for a lot of extra features. 300 fps stable? That sounds excessive. Why would you need such low frame rates? Also, if this is for gaming, prefer black over red. I’d choose an i7 4790k instead. It’ll perform better in games, and you could use an LGA 1150 motherboard like the one listed here: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-mother...viiformula. You’d need a 16GB DDR3 RAM kit—any package will work (even Dominator Platinums, just make sure it’s DDR3).
For power, go overkill too. A 750-watt unit is fine now; if you plan to add another 980 later, aim for at least 1,500 watts. That’s http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...-_-Product.
Overclocking depends on the CPU model, so it’s not one-size-fits-all. If you’re unsure, have someone assist you. With all this budget, we could also splurge on a second 980 later—if not, you’ll have room to upgrade then.
If you’d like, I can put together a parts list based on your current setup and help you decide.
Was das wirklich gemeint, oder hast du etwas anderes gemeint?
I need a computer that lasts a long time without needing frequent upgrades. Since I’m not sure what works best, I look up GPU and CPU benchmarks to find the top options. I’m mainly into CS:GO, battlefield, and other games like GTA V and The Division. I just want a solid setup for those titles without worrying about constant changes. I’m new to this stuff and don’t have much experience, so I’d really appreciate your help in putting together a good PC for me.
Most titles (as he mentioned he mainly plays) run smoothly on one thread, and that works well because you can push the speed further.
