So I'm about to buy a GTX 650 I'm just asking if I need to change my CPU
So here's my build
GPU: GTX 650 1GB
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245 (2 CPUs)(2.9GhZ)
RAM : 2GB DDR3 (Yes I am aware that I should add more)
Windows 7 Professional 32bit

If there's something that needs to be changed right away after I install my graphics card please tell me.
 
Solution
It depends.

I think most likely not.

Go ahead and buy your new graphics card and try it out.

If you become cpu limited, then you can decide what to upgrade next.
