Hi all,

I wanna buy a new cpu for gamming
I have core 2 duo in my pc. I have problem when I play games with high graphic. The cpu usage goes up to 95%-100% so the game lags like hell. I want a cpu that can process a lot of datta quicker than my current cpu. I have decided two cpus and I'm gonna buy one of those two.

Here is the of two cpus

1)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600
(8M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)

2)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8400
(4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

I am confused.....................
cache is the amount of cpu instructions that a cpu can take in at a time. The Hz is the refresh rate, the higher the rate, the faster the instructions go in and out of the cpu and onto the computer

So
Q6600 It can take large amout of cpu instruction in at a time but has a low FSB speed and low GHZ

And
Q8400 It have fast FSB speed and GHz but have only 4 MB cache....2 mb lower than q6600

And if there is more to compared to.....I dont know...Im just a noob please help

[Telling in advance if someone says that to go buy i3 or i5 :D Im saving money for R9 290X 4GB ]



Thank you all :)
