I have AMD phenom ii x2 560 processor and i am upgrading my pc to gaming pc.
Can AMD phenom ii x2 560 processor will play all The Coming high graphics games or i should upgrade to AMD fx4100 3.6ghz with 4 cores
 
the 560 Cpu really isn't enough for newer games. My wife had a 555 and she really noticed a difference between that and my Phenom II 940. If you have an AM3+ compatible board, the fx 6300 is a nice budget chip to use. If your board is only AM3, then grab a Phenom II 965 and that will get you by for a while. It's basically the cheapest Cpu that will play the newest games ok(newer games are starting to take advantage of more than 2 cores).
