Okay, I've been researching this for two months, and I'm still not certain of what processor to get. I'm hoping to build / buy in the next month or two. I'm currently running a 5+ year old Dell laptop with a 2Ghz T6400 Core2Duo. It still suits my purpose fine, but the age is worrying me the most. Also, I want to go back to a desktop.
All I do on my system is heavy word-processing (300 + pages, 100,000+ words), internet, and run a JAVA-based program for work. The most graphical thing I do is a DVD movie here and there, and Bejeweled 3. The Athlon 5350 is catching my eye the most, but from what I've seen, it's not an upgrade far as the overall performance is concerned. They finally have the A8-7600 out, but the i3 is better for the price far as my uses. The max I want to spend on the CPU is $100. Any suggestions and/or thoughts on what to get?
