Hi there,
Hi all,
At the moment (for almost 4 years) I'm using Intel Q9400 2.66Ghz Quadcore processor with Asus P5N-D which unfortunately started acting very strange (recently i found that this combination is a worst one ever). Mostly visible it is in BF3, where I don't have more than 20FPS (usually 9-15). GPU is definitely fine. I'm using GTX560TI 448 cores (even with bf3 sticker on it) and I have 6Gb DDR2 800Mhz dual channel Kingstone RAM. As I have a 100£ voucher for PC world I will buy there new LGA1155 socket Motherboard Asus P8Z77-V LX and 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz RAM, but I'm looking for suitable processor for this socket. Unfortunately at the moment I'm still paying my car lease so my budget is very limited. However I found this i3 2120 for a very cheap price which is only £60. Do you think it will be a significant upgrade from my actual RIG for the money I have? I've seen some reviews and comparisons, but I'm not very sure about it as it is only Dual Core.I will probably upgrade it to the i7 after my lease will finish in less than a year, but at the moment I will need to do something with my PC as it is dying slowly.
