I have a Dell with an Athlon X2 4400+, with 4gb ram and a 9400gt card which is about 5 years old. It runs fine, but am considering upgrading. Thinking about either a FX8350 or an i5 with 8gb ram. What I'd like is opinions on how will this setup be in 5 years. Old and need of replacement? or like mine is now? just OK and a little slow.
5 years from now

And for just a few more dollars, try this
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1230+V2+%40+3.30GHz
A big jump in score and only 69w. 8 times more powerful than the athlon
Thank you . Woot has this recon HP which looks pretty fast and cheap. What do you think? Sounds like a good deal but not familiar with a 90 day HP warranty and buying reconditioned.
