I have an 7790 HD graphics card, and windows 8 x64. My current system is a CPU:e7400 Core2Duo; Gigabyte P45-UD3 Mobo; 5gigs of DDR2 ram, and a 750W PSU..

I have a $400 budget (firm), and with that money, I am wanting to get a new CPU, Mobo, and RAM.

The four options I have seen for CPUs are A10/FX/i3/i5.

I use my computer to play countless hours of SWTOR, a little Marvel Heroes and BF3 .. I also will be using photo manipulation software, web designing, plus web surfing.

I am tired of having roughly 20fps or less on my games.
