Hi, I have am AMD Phenom II 955 Black edition processor and and GTX 460 Graphics card. I am trying to play Rome Total war 2 and it runs like a 1 legged dog. I am told the bottleneck with Rome is the CPU rather than the GPU. Whilst I plan to upgrade the GPU sometime next year I am looking for feedback on my proposed CPU upgrade. My motherboard is the GA-MA7707-UD3 rev 1.x. and I am looking to upgrade the CPU to a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2 GHz. Firstly, wll this CPU work with my motherboard and secondly, will it improve the game play on Rome Total War 2?
