Question for the chaps on here that might be a little more savvy than i when it comes to hardware. Been using CPUID to look at my pc performance when playing the games that seem to tax my pc the most. When playing DayZ mod i find that my pc is on average utilizing 100% of my GPU and 85-90% of my CPU, Interestingly the exact opposite when playing Fallout 4. Those are the 2 games that i really see big drops in FPS. So its pretty clear i need a upgrade, a considerable one at that.
Looking at Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard (Socket AM3+, DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI Express 2.0 x16, USB 3.0) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CX4MUCC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2XCIEJ7ANK124&coliid=I14JFUSTKLS75J&psc=1

I already have, and will continue to use 8gb ddr3 ram at 1600mhz
Basically i just wanna know what people think of this set up, im happy with amd, have no desire to change to intel/nvidia and im trying to get the biggest bang for my buck
