The other game I play is very graphics intensive and they have superb writeups on how to optimize your system for game play. If you like send me a pm (with current operating system) and I'll copy and paste them to you in a reply. The tech admin there is top notch and he's not led me wrong in six plus years of playing
77 or so processes running during gameplay? Sounds like a lot. I'm usually in the 50's.
If anybody is looking for a gaming rig I have a guy I highly recommend. He's built two for me and they are fantastic. His customer service is beyond top notch as well. But bring your wallet. They aren't inexpensive.
