I have a
Pegatron 2AC2 Mainboard
With Max 8 RAM
A 260W Power supply (around there a few watts off I believe)

My question is what are my options for a better CPU, because I am trying to run 3D engines off my desktop for school, and my CPU is what is holding me back.? any ideas?

Also, let me know if there is anymore info to be needed.

It is the game engines that games like Crysis and Farcry run off of.

The main thing that will hold you back will be the gfx card. With a ~260W PSU, you are going to be very limited as to which card you can use. Maybe something in the HD 7750 class AT MOST.
