Answer
I come from a family of 6; 2 brothers, one sister. I am originally from California, but my family moved to Layton, Utah when I was 7. I've lived in Utah ever since then, and currently live just outside of Salt Lake City, on the west side of the valley.
I have my own house which I share with two cats. I work for a large bank, in their ATM department, where I monitor the atms all day, and dispatch service when they run out of cash or break down.
I'm also a bit of a computer geek. I used to work at Cisco Tech Support in their IOS and VPN department, so I tinker arond with computers and networking as a hobby.
I enjoy audio and video production, have gone to school to be a radio announcer, but as of yet, have never held a job in that field. Back in the late 80's/early 90's, I worked for a video tape duplication company. One of our clients, for a while, were the producers of Barney The Dinosaur. It used to be my job to sit at the quality control desk every night and watch Barney videos over and over again until I was sick of them! (I don't think I've ever recovered, either.)
I've never married, I don't have any kids.
I enjoy music, camping, electronics, and traveling. I also enjoy studying people; they can be fascinating sometimes.

Should I upgrade my computer or can you give me tips?

I've been having issues with my computer for awhile as far as gaming goes. I bought my computer strictly for gaming purposes, but I'm having issues with all of my games. V-sync is my main issue, because with it off the screen tears terribly and with it on there is very slow mouse lag. I want to call the guy who made my computer and ask him, but doesn't know much about gaming. What I need to know is if something in my computer may need an upgrade because it might be conflicting with the graphics card. Anyway I'd really like if you could answer this with detail, because I've already asked this many times and most of the answers are very unhelpful and conflicting. Computer Specs below.
Graphics: ASUS Nvdia Geforce GTX 660
Ram: 8gb DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-14900, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Processor: AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.99GHz
Motherboard: msi A7MA-G55
Monitor: 1600 x 900 60hz
Power Supply: 550W
Hard Drive: 1T
Internet Speed: 8063 Kbps / 1147 Kbps
IOS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Answer
There are several issues w/ v-sync. First off is that the higher the frame rate the better the mouse response even if that frame rate is higher than the monitors refresh rate. Once you enable v-sync the computer keep the frame rate at speeds that can be multiplied into 60 using whole numbers. That means 15, 20, 30, or 60FPS(40 might be possible to but I dont remember.. If you keep dipping below 60 you will hit the 30cap or 40 if it exists.
What you should try right away is turning off v-sync then go into the nvidia control panel and force adaptive v-sync. It will enable v-sync at 60fps but disable it when under 60fps. This will keep you from getting screwed into a 30fps speed.
There may be some tearing at low frame rates but should be minimal.
All those v-sync modes work by dropping frames so your card is doing the work of a higher frame rate but then having frames discarded to ensure it can easily be synced with the 60Hz refresh rate of your monitor.
If you are going to upgarde anything it needs to be your video card. The 660 is not an enthusiast card. Get a amd 7950 at the least or a 7970 or gtx670 or gtx680.
You can sell your current card to recoup some cash. I am a nvidia fan and at the time I bought my gtx670 it was a better performer per dollar than what AMD offered but now the tables are turned. AMD offers the best bang for the buck by far. A 7950 will eat yout card for a late night snack.
The rest of the system is great. If you have not overclocked your processor than do so now. A 20% boost should be as easy as stealing candy from a baby cat that doesn't like candy. You can certainly get more than that but surely 20% is stupid easy.
Hope this helps

Also in response to the Intel recommendation and hd recommendation those guys don't need to be spending anymore time in the computer section answering questions.
you already stated the issue v-sync or tearing so checking your HD is just silly. As for the Intel bit the 3rd gen i7 is the last 1155 chip so any i5 chip and board you buy now will not be able to be upgraded at all n the future.
I have a i5 3570k at 4.5GHz and a GTX670 that is overclocked to get about 20% more performance and even that struggles at 2560x1440p resolutions. At 1600x900 there would be no problems.
Also a few other things DO NOT use anti aliasing except for fxaa and txaa. MSAA is to demanding for that video card and will severally reduce frames rates. Disable motion blur as it reduces frame rates and the quality of the scene. In nvidia control panel turn on anisotropic sample optimization, set texture filtering quality to high performance, enable trilinear optimization, turn on triple buffering and set vertical sync to adaptive.
Try the game with the trilinear optimization on and off and see if you notice a difference. Also find out if your monitor can be overclocked and if so by how much. If you can get your monitor to run at 75hz that will increase your mouse performance quite a bit with vsync on. If you can hit 90 even better.
Good luck and sorry about all the idiots. You wont get a better answer than this one on this site.
