Hello everyone
I'm brand new here, but bought a custom built AMD PC here a year ago. I'm getting some freezing in game and blue screens so thinking of upgrading to an Intel based build. I bought the build I have now with the help of a friend whom I don't speak to anymore so can't ask him any questions about it, so am hoping you guys will be able to help me out. I changed the RAM on my old Macbook so am expecting I can change the stuff in the PC myself. Before you say it, I know it's not the same! But still. But I don't know if I can change from AMD to Intel not to mention what I should get. I do use a few heavy programs so it needs to be a really heavy duty computer. I will post my specs below. Anybody that can help with anything, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Specs:
Case: NZXT PHANTOM 240 WHITE GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU): AMD FX-8350 Eight Core CPU (4.00-4.20GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3+)
Motherboard: ASUS® M5A97 LE R2.0 (DDR3, USB3.0, 6Gb/s)
Memory (RAM): 16GB HyperX FURY DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card: 3GB AMD RADEON™ R9 280X - DVI, HDMI, mDP - DX® 11, Eyefinity 4 Capable
Power Supply: CORSAIR 550W VS SERIES™ VS-550 POWER SUPPLY
Processor Cooling: Corsair H100i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
My harddrives I'm guessing are irrelevant.
