Don't go with that.
It's not balanced.

Your current PC really need a huge upgrade for playing modern games at max settings.

Thank IBM

daffa-apriza34 · Jan 6, 2014

Brad101 :

IBM's CPU recomendation is good if you don't mind upgrading your BIOS, so feel free if you want to stick with your old CPU or the FX 6300.

Your old X4 9600 doesn't even beat an i3
