Another Question About PC Gaming

New Motherboard+CPU+RAM is basically a new computer that will necessitate a fresh install of OS. That will almost certainly eliminate any errors you had previously (unless it was GPU of course). What are you planning to do with old parts?

I think you'd have to run some diagnostics while playing and log what's going on to figure out what the hitching might be. Fans spinning up is probably some kind of heat thing. Freezing or hitching could also be the GPU, if you know which fans are ramping up it helps.

Unless I missed it, I'm not sure what CPU is in there, an i5 or i7 from the haswell generation? Something on z97 with 1150 pins anyway.

You could use something like CPUID HWMonitor to log what's happening with your system in the background while playing download.cpuid.com/hwmonitor/hwmonitor_1.44.zip (<-- direct download)

GPU-Z is good to see more with what's happening with your GPU www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ - this can also be set to log results for later analysis.

Also, as Unicephalon 40-D said it's a good idea to reinstall windows on new hardware. If you haven't done it already, I highly recommend switching to an SSD at least for boot, if not for everything. Best upgrade that has an effect on the whole using-the-computer experience.

Haha, I'd just run across your post in the MELE thread, I see you also have a 2060. I had an i7-4790 until ~2019, it was starting to get a big bogged down though with some of the newer stuff. I suppose the 8gb could be something, depending on what's running in the background. MELE recommends 16GB ram, but you're a little ahead of the recommended specs for GPU, and CPU is right there. Might not be worth buying some extra RAM for the old machine though, at this point.
