Mad some hardware changes, not sure if there was any actual improvement.

    First post.

    I built my first pc about 5 years ago and I've been using it fine since. Well about 4 months ago I finally broke down and replaced my mobo, ram, video card, processor. No problems. What gets me is when I'm playing D3, on first load in, I get some FPS lag that goes away shortly after it starts.. But my fps fluctuates dramatically the entire time I'm playing. Recently I started my own livestream for ghits and siggles and my FPS drops horrendously when it's broadcasting. There are other game related issues I've noticed but for whatever reason I can't recall them to describe at the moment. I just didn't think I'd have this many problems with my build, so I'm thinking I might have overlooked something.

    Basically, is my hardware up to snuff or is there perhaps some flaw I'm not seeing? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!? xD

    proc: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
    video: XFX Radeon HD 5670
    RAM: G.Skill Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3
    mobo: ASUS M4A87TD AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s
    500w powersupply.



    thanks in advanced for any/all input.

    Hello and Welcome to PCHF,

    The AMD may be 6 - cored but it certainly cannot handle gaming and streaming at the same time. It takes ample CPU resource as well as a good connection to stream. Do offline games suffer from the same? If the issues are game specific, hardware is difficult to blame.
