upgrade that gpu lol

As an 8350 owner, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming.

I love it for what I do with it - lots of virtualization - but 8 cores is mostly lost on gaming. If my home PC was setup purely for gaming, I wouldn't get an 8350. It's not *bad* for gaming by any means, but if you're going to replace the motherboard as well I'd go for an i5 setup.

8350 + 32GB RAM = lots of virtualization, but not much software takes full advantage of the 8 physical cores.

after what you have said i will go for an i5 or an i7 with 32GB of ram which will run a lot better as well as being able to use hyperthreading.

upgrade that gpu lol

ikr i am replacing it for a GTX 970 soon but i'm surprised my current gpu can actually run arma 3 at medium settings at 30 fps

32GBs?! Why on earth would you buy so much RAM?I doubt that you're doing heavy virtualization and video rendering that could use this RAM,8GBs is perfect spot for gaming only.

P.S. I own this CPU Black Edition i easily clock it @4,3 Ghz with air cooler on my Ga 880Gm-d2h(4.0),it never breaks 50 C,with that H55 you should clock it more than meere 200MHz OC.

16gb ram is better 8 is not enough to turn off vram.

Who the hell needs a page file for a gaming machine

8 is not enough to turn off vram I take that as a troll post

 

[lionel]

Nope not a troll post.

I guess I do more at the same time as you.

e.g. streaming, recording, browsing, gaming, music. Yeah if you close all other apps and just play arma3 you'll be fine, but then you may as well buy a console if you want a computer that can only do 1 thing properly at a time.

I have set people with 8GB of ram to no Vram and their apps crash with out of memory errors, so this is from experience.

 

[dzul]

Well my x64 Win 8.1,Arma 3 ,2 1080p videos loading, bunch of background apps and couple of pages open in chrome never used more than 6Gb of my Ram.

P.S. i honestly haven't understood the last sentence of your last post ;(

 

[lionel]

It menas that i have tried it on computer with just 8GB of ram and it didn't work.

 

[dzul]

Well lionel i guess 16GB for you,but if you search through mighty internets you'll see that most people say 8GB is perfect slot for just gaming.
