It's a bit strange then. at 75°C the CPU shouldn't be throttling but you never know.
Like I said before this thread isn't the place for troubleshooting.
Look up how to check for CPU throttling and other reasons for low fps in CS:GO and/or add me if you can't fix it.

Overclocking is still a good idea if your motherboard supports it.

Sorry guys, didn't have internet for a few days.

Why the i5-4460 and 750 Ti? You can definitely get better parts with that budget.

I don't really know any good pre-builts, there's enough options to get it built if you think that you absolutely can't build it yourself or just don't have the time. Watch a good build video (e.g. LinusTechTips) and keep it open while building and you really shouldn't run into any problems. Even if you do, just ask someone instead of forcing anything and it's virtually impossible to break anything.

I looked the build in #359 up again and got a heart attack because apparently it's the spawn of satan, it's at 666.66$ right now.
I fixed that and added Windows.

There are some motherboards with wifi, usually you'd get a wifi card or stick though. I don't what standard your router is using (802.11 a, b, g, n or ac) so I can't really recommend anything. You should be able to get a decent one for <20$. It's also not ideal for online games, if there's any way you could run a cable do so. There's also Powerline Ethernet.

The only thing I'm not skeptical about is the ODD.

Brief list of what went through my head:
4790K, nice.
All-in-one liquid cooler, WHYYYYYYYYY?!
WTF?!
It's Corsair so it's probably not for rendering, don't need 16GB then.
What? Why?
What the fuck is that HDD?
A 760? Really? With that budget? Oh wait, he didn't even specify a budget.
Oh come on.
Dat overkill. Does he want to go SLI? At least it's a very good PSU.
Decent ODD.
FUCKING 760 SLI I KNEW IT!

Tell me what you want to do with that build.
What is your budget?
Here's a better one for 200$ less, I can adjust it to make it cheaper or put even more POWER in there.

This thread isn't the ideal way to troubleshoot.
You can add me if you want to, it's faster and easier for me that way.

#374
I'm assuming that's the CPU temperature. If so a cooler should help. Are you using the stock cooler? You also need to check what maximum CPU cooler height your case allows. If you don't plan on doing anything crazy in terms of overclocking the Enermax ETS-T40-TB should be a good choice.

At what settings are you running CS:GO? I'm hoping it's your GPU bottlenecking because there's no way you'll get >50% more fps by overclocking your CPU. Getting a cooler is still a good idea, a slight overclock and lower temperatures are always a good thing.

50fps on lowest settings in BF4? There is definitely something wrong. Are you using the 270X and not the integrated GPU?

>120fps with what config in CS:GO/TF2?

EDIT: What I mean is that 50fps on low settings sound just like the 5600K whereas 5600K + 270X should get you almost 50fps on ultra.

Is any game/application not running well enough? If not then you don't need to upgrade.

I mean just looking at the CPU I have no idea how much power you need. Anything from a 105-115$ upgrade with an 860K + 212 Evo/ETS-T40-TB to a 310$ E3-1231 v3 + mobo combo is within the budget.

Overclocking yes/no?
TF2 yes/no?
Other games yes/no? If yes, which games exactly? Target fps/quality?
Streaming yes/no?
Need more SSD/HDD space?

RAM and PSU are definitely fine, GPU depends a bit on the games, definitely fine for TF2 and not going to hold you back in any other games without a major CPU upgrade.
SSD and HDD are fine unless you need more space.
Mobo is fine unless you want to upgrade to a CPU that needs a different chipset or even a different socket.
Replacing the APU with a CPU would be the obvious choice for me, but it really depends on what you need.

If it was smoking there will be some sort of visible damage. It won't be easy to take good enough pictures though, especially if you don't know where the damage is.

Could you post pictures of the PCB? I'm interested in what part failed.

Less used private cheat with less features = higher chance of getting detected

I'm not exactly sure how that's supposed to be logical.

Could you be a bit more specific about the crashes?
PSU model could also be interesting.

Other than that standard procedure:
Check temps and clean if you don't clean it regularly
Run memtest86
Reinstall OS
stability test GPU, if possible in another PC
stability test CPU OC
stability test CPU stock
stability test CPU stock clocks, slightly increased voltage

Pay attention to the specific crashes/error messages.

For grounding, assuming you don't have eqipment for it, there's two ways:
own safety > pc
Turn off the PSU, pull the plug. Before opening the case or touching anything inside touch the bare copper pipes on a radiator on anything else metal with a good ground connection.
pc > self
Turn off the PSU, but don't unplug it. Ground yourself like I described, then open the case and unplug the power button before touching anything else if you can, just to make sure.

#3
You are severly underestimating how much horsepower of an overclocked i7-2600K. I can list several games where a GTX 760 would be the bottleneck.

Specs?
My best guess is your GPU is shit and since CS:GO actually uses the GPU unlike TF2 you're getting bottlenecked.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say.

It's near impossible to even get a slower CPU or GPU than what you currently have.

If you know the parts are bad why did you choose them?

Budget and intended usage help me a lot more than that kind of build. These are the only things I can't figure out for you. If you want proper advice you have to tell me what you want/need. A half-hearted part list attempt doesn't really tell me anything.

You don't have to defend your build.

Don't get me wrong but ... you don't actually know what you're doing, do you?

What's your budget?
What are you going to use it for?
Do you really need 2TB?

Assuming it's for TF2 and maybe some other games:

Pushed it a bit further.
Slightly better CPU.
GPU should get you around 30-50% more fps in any non source game.
Also another case, all 3 should be basically interchangeable, just get whatever you like.

Semi-modular PSU
Same PSU non-modular might be better than the CX430M, there's no reviews on it yet and there's no reviews on the CX430M so it's just an estimation going by other PSUs with different wattage on the same platform.

Props to everyone for spoilers. No, I didn't give anything away, you can barely understand what I wrote after you've watched the episode.

Why are these your options? What's your budget?

Going by sound quality the HD558s should be better than anything else mentioned in this thread so far.
Some measurements:
HD558s
Takstar Pro80s
I doubt you'd be able to find proper measurements for the Logitech headsets, they're simply not good enough to even bother.

There's other options than the Zalman clip on mic, with the modmic being the elephant in the room, they depend on your budget though.

If you want the best sound quality, headphones + mic.
If you want a "headset", headphones + modmic or the /v/ ghetto version of it.

7.1 is all software. It can work pretty well, however it's absolutely pointless. I've tested one of the better implementations with proper headphones and I could identify 7 "speakers". The problem is I don't want to be able to recognize the different speakers in a 7.1 setup. The point is to have proper surround sound and with headphones a stereo to binaural software or simply selecting headphones in game instead of 7.1 works far better.

I didn't expect a mecha anime before TLOK started but since S1E7 I've been waiting for this.

The Percy Weasley is real. Granted they threw in a relationship aswell, but other than that it's the same. Not sure if he's just #2 (or even further down) on Kuvira's list of priorities or if she really doesn't care at all. Unless she doesn't like lying her "reaction" suggests the former.
