Well, for example, I run at LOW "game settings" with everything turned down as low as possible. Always have...I have never enjoyed this game at High quality to be honest. My bar is pretty low...

From the looks of it, the best bang for my buck is to jack the CPU/GPU up as high as I can afford and most of the rest of the parts are interchangeable, performance wise that is.

I am going to look for a "Manage your CPU" post or something to try and help. Maybe something about Win 10 configs too, I always feel like there are 1000 things running in the background of this thing cause there are dozens "if you turn this off Windows will blow up" entries...
