What would you suggest that I get, then? Processor, motherboard, memory?

What I'm looking at is less than half the price of an intel processor. Anyways, I'm looking for memory.

I am pretty much set on the processor and board, I just need memory. Looking for compatible. Budget is around $350-400.

This isn't just for TF2, it's for other games, also. I am planning to get the two together, is there anything else I would need along side the motherboard and cpu? I am pretty sure there is, memory, and if so, what would fit?

I am looking to upgrade my motherboard and CPU for my PC, and I'm not entirely sure if it'll all fit in my case. The case is the case of the Inspiron 580, and the motherboard is an ATX.

Motherboard Upgrade: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+
CPU Upgrade: AMD FX-8350

Current motherboard: Dell 033FF6
Current CPU: Intel i5 650

OOOh could you upload it please? :)

"fuck smesi"

When you find an item with FlameHud, it looks extremely fucked up.

How to get that crosshair in photos? I've checked everywhere.

Uhh.. I think I found a bug. http://steamcommunity.com/id/supaswag/screenshot/260467680385180492

Alright, I will look more into this. You sure that these parts would fit with the size of the case? I don't want to buy the parts, open it up and find out they're too big.

My PC was bought years ago not custom built. Just recently the parts were added, so the motherboard, and case are the same as they had came originally. My friend on Steam suggested me to get a new motherboard AND tower. I'm not totally sure what size my case supports, but I can tell you the motherboard it came with. It's the Dell 033FF6. I want to do what I can with the case, though, because I really don't feel like rebuying everything.

My computer is pretty crappy as it's pretty old, but I'm willing to build it up more. As for the model itself, it's an Inspiron 580. Hope that helps.

I am definitely NOT surprised with the outcomes. I decided to get a 144hz monitor, because I knew it would increase my hit/miss ratio with below the required fps or not. Now, since I got everything I need, I am looking to get a new CPU. The budget I have for a new CPU is 250-300 USD. I am looking for a CPU that can cap TF2 up to a desirable FPS for 144hz, (289 fps) that can work in unison with my graphics card.

What do you suggest I upgrade to?

I am having FPS issues with TF2. I had researched a bit on FPS issues with TF2, and discovered that TF2 is more of a cpu-based game. But, I was wondering if there was a way to improve FPS with a lower side CPU, instead of using a graphics config which can only improve FPS by +30 or so from full settings.

I will list some of my specs down below

GPU: PNY Nvidia GTX 750 XLR8 Performance Edition Dual Fan
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz (usually at around 60-70°C in game)
RAM: 8 GB

FPS w/ comanglia config at mid-map: 60-125
FPS w/ comanglia config at side-map 200-285

FPS w/o comanglia config at mid-map: 40-90
FPS w/o comanglia config at side-map: 100-150

Figuring I have a 144hz monitor, these FPS drops are crucial, if I want to get in the fight at mid, I have to pray that my fps don't that low. Matchmaking removing the effect of FPS configs is even worse for me, which can sometimes make me die instantly at mid because of the horrible framerate it can drop to. Does anybody have an idea of what to do, without getting a new CPU? I have checked all my graphics drivers, they're up to date, and so seems to be everything else. If worst comes to worst, I'll invest in a new CPU.

I do have files in scripts with weapon names, but for the reason of removing any explosions. Maybe they're outdated or something?
