I appreciate the ideas, but I'd like to keep the Alienware system it's in configured exactly as it shipped out as the X58 based Area 51s were pretty rare.
you see the HWU youtube series about optimizing performance/quality for that game? it took 2 nearly half hour episodes to get through all the settings. They saw some pretty substantial fps games without sacrificing visual quality.
Have you seen Hardware unboxed's youtube video series on optimizing RDR2 settings for balanced performance/eye candy? It's an eye opener on how ridiculous the graphics settings of that game are.
Due to a spilled Dr. Pepper I am in need of a new (used) motherboard.
Don't really care too much about generation, but would not be very enthusiastic about an A320...
As ever, budget is a huge consideration, just need it cheap, so if you got a B350 collecting dust let me know.
Not sure about itx form factor, only 2 RAM slots right? they're both running 4x4GB DDR3 RAM right now and I don't want to either drop down to 8 or find an 8gbx2 kit.
