I'm going to close this one out for now before I move onto some other projects.
I managed to get CS:GO up and running on this system, and at 1680x1050, the R9 270X screams. Unfortunately though, the same cannot be said for the poor Athlon II X3 CPU. It pretty much sits above 90% CPU usage on all cores the entire time, and when something starts to happen on-screen with other players, the frame-rates dip down to the 20s very quickly, and very regularly. This CPU just isn't up for the job.
Not much fun when you're trying to line up a head-shot!
Given that we're seeing this kind of trouble with CS:GO, I'm not going to move onto testing Dota 2 - a game that I think this CPU simply just would not manage.
I think if I paired this CPU with something like a Radeon HD 5770 and stuck to games made before around about 2010 I think I would manage to have a lot more with this machine. I might even get that up and running at some point in the future - who knows.
For now though, it's adios to the Presario.
