I'm looking to slowly upgrade my computer's hardware, and I've just purchased a new graphics card. I'm looking to replace my processor in the near future as well, so I was curious what you all might suggest for a cheap but relatively efficient processor. I really can't afford anything above $200 at the moment.

This is my current setup, updated with the new graphics card.

Graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I would ideally like something that would be able to play games like Battlefield 4 and WatchDogs with max settings, but I'm not sure if that's even possible for anything under $200. Feel free to let me know if so. Thanks in advanced.

Does that 555 unlock into a quad? If it does, and you can overclock it some, that's a huge performance gain.

Accidently posted you as the Best Answer when I meant to reply, haha...

But to be honest, I have no clue how to even begin overclocking, or if the processor is capable of it. A review on the Newegg website claims it has the 'potential' to do so, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.
