@Rowley I think my RAM is just bad, I get random drop time and things randomly freeze but not often,only when i'm doing multiple things IE Malwarebytes Scan,Youtube Video,and RuneScape/OldSchool RS all at once.

How is your RAM 'bad'? It's double mine and faster speed. You won't have a problem with running dual monitors, I don't know what's the worry.

Also, do you have a custom CPU cooler or stock?

Yeah. there's no point in having better parts if you don't at least get an SSD for the main drive with your OS. Speed is day and night compared to hdd's.

I never actually used my stock cpu cooler, but if his isn't overclocked or anything stock should be just fine assuming it's working right. I only got an aftermarket one because of how hot it can get in the summer here.

I don't think your RAM is 'bad', because that sounds more like a CPU related issue.

You could always use something like MemTest86 (or 64) and leave it on overnight, that will see if there are any inconsistencies in your RAM. But generally, if you RAM is 'bad' you probably won't even start up your PC correctly. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Now that I think about it, AMD Catalyst control center was set to automatically overclock (the overdrive) program and my PC was overclocked improperly, Now that I did a few fixes it's seem to been working fine, Possibly run a few more tests shortly on my graphics card. My memory and cpu seems to be fine,all the temps are 50 or below,the cpu is the only thing that goes over 50 a little bit,other than that I think it was an overheat error.. I will buy an SSD, and if the graphics card is burnt out ill just use my lifetime amd warranty and get a new one (same model,same card) the dust really did a fine fix to this computer. My friend was right when he told me dust is the number one killer of computers l0l. Thanks for the support guys,much appreciated. Also forgot to mention I need to apply some Thermal Paste, after those tweaks I should be fine,note to self..DO NOT OVERCLOCK improperly or with stock fans/cooler, If this helps I have the Phantom 410 case by the way,so if you guys want to look at it you can tell if it's bad or good.

I like the way that case looks and some of the functions like on the front having a cover, but it looks like it would only be good if you had a smaller motherboard. I see that it fits fullsize atx boards like mine but it would really be pushing it as far as room. You'd probably have heating problems with how close everything would be and zero room for any extra fans or watercooling.

Your board is a micro though so you probably have a decent amount of wiggle room.


Mine is a CM Storm Trooper case, probably one of the biggest cases on the market, lol. But it's got plenty of width and extra room to do some serious upgrading down the line if I want. Heck even with an atx board I have like 4-5 inches of clearance from the psu and like 3 inches from the graphics card to the drive bays. And the bays are completely removable so you can take those out and put all kinds of stuff in there.

If you use it as your main drive  so you can run windows off of it, yes.
There's a very noticeable difference between ssd's and hdd's speed. You don't need some 1tb ssd or anything unless you just have that much money to blow on it, but like a 150-250gb to run windows on + have some extra room for games or whatever would be great. And if you have old games you don't play much or loading isn't slow on you can just throw those on the hdd you have already and run those from there and keep the ssd for the most used games.

But keep in mind SSD won't be affecting your fps, it'll be affecting the loading times. Like when you search stuff on computer or are at loading screens on games or something, it's lighting fast compared to hdd's. If you wouldn't use it as your main drive then I'd be less inclined to say it's worth it UNLESS you play a ton of different games.

One of the things I'll do next time I redo my pc is get a bigger case. It is quite cluttered.

Looking at the size of my case in comparison overall yours is ever so slightly bigger dimension wise, and i've this thing stuck on my cpu http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002VKVZ1A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

depending on what I use to check temp it ranges from 20-35 (atmo motherboard software says 23 and speccy says 31)

I've only one other case fan in use as well and that's on low power and the system is around 30. Runescape and browsing is about as intensive as it gets for me though.
