Looking for hardware advice!

[lyradmaig]

Hi

I am looking to upgrade my motherboard and processor with a budget of $400 to $600 SGD. Hope someone can advice on what to get and whether i need to upgrade my ram. I usually play Overwatch, Csgo, Dota2 and battlefield. Thanks!

Sometimes I help having weird crashes while playing overwatch at 1080p 144hz with low settings. I reckon might be the cpu or motherboard problem?

Do I really need to change my setup?

Current PC Specs:
Motherboard and CPU : Asus P8Z77-M + i7-3770k @3.50GHz
Ram: kingston 8GB DDR3L-CL9 2 x 4GB
GPU: Zotac Gtx 970
PSU: Superflower leadex silver 650W
SSD: Intel 120GB
HDD: Hitachi 1TB
Monitor: Benq XL2411 144hz

Overwatch, Csgo, Dota2 and battlefield.

I suggest you buy a 144 fps monitor

change ur hsf to a water cooler loop one at 100 plus then overclock it to 4.5 minimum.

then upgrade your monitor to gsync 144hz one buy need to up your budget abit.

2nd Option is to sell your gtx970 then upgrade to rx 480 then get a freesync monitor. Freesync monitor will cost u ard 400, while the cheapest g sync will cost u ard 800

This doesn't solve his problem. He is having weird crashes. Upgrading to a 144hz monitor won't help.

I think your rig is still good (in fact better than mine in some areas) so would be best if you describe the problems you are facing and if it appears in other programs/games.

For your issues, did u see any driver issues when u crashed? Maybe u can check your system log as well.

Its says overwatch has crashed yourgraphic driver. So could be the driver problem

Maybe u can consider using DDU from guru3D to remove the previous driver in your system and maybe choose either a latest driver or previously stable driver when u last used and install to your system.

Overwatch by Blizzard? Perhaps main culprit is their server.....

Perhaps u should go battle.net to check on Overwatch Sub forum see if weird crash happen to other player as well......
