My fps is fairly low on CS:GO - 50-60 fps online. I think i should get more, what do you think?

Specs:
-AMD Athlon x2 II 245 CPU @ 2.9GHz
-AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series vcard with 512MB VRAM
-2 GB RAM
-ASUS m4a77 motherboard

Launch options in Steam: -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -dxlevel 81 -high -novid -nojoy -32bit -nod3d9ex -w 1024 -h 768 -freq 60 -refresh 60 +exec autoexec.cfg +mat_vignette_enable 0

All graphical settings on low, both antialiasing settings are on 8/16x because my game runs just a bit smoother that way, multicore rendering enabled, fxaa disabled, motion blur,vsync,3x buffering disabled.

No, for gaming, an i5 is already more than enough. The only i7's really worth considering for people building a gaming-oriented machine are the flagship platform x99 socket 2011-3 hex and octo-cores. They will allow you to run 3-4 GPU setups for very high resolution/framerate setups such as 3-5 screen Eyefinity/Surround up to 120hz, Nvidia 3D Vision Surround, 4K, 4K surround, etc. If these are things that you don't care about due to lack of interest or the necessarily high budget, then an i5 and a good midrange GPU are all you need to thoroughly enjoy 99% of the games out there on a single screen @ 1920x1080, but two might be necessary if you want to go 120-144hz, or to a higher resolution like 2560x1440/1600.

Those Athlons are slow, really slow. Most Source engine games only need a dual core, but it needs to have fast per-core performance. If you upgraded to even a modern Intel Pentium or i3, you could easily double your framerate while still enabling higher image quality settings. You'll also want to upgrade to 4-8GB of RAM for better performance.

Yeah I've heard that before. I also plan on upgrading my pc at about New Years, a rig that will be able to play game like CS:GO at around 200 fps, and have decent quality to go with it. If you have the time, what CPU,vcard would be best for that sort of build? 8GB RAM is a definite yes.

Honestly, anything remotely modern, even low-midrange components can hit 100+ fps in most Source engine games. Rather than setting a target fps in your favorite game as your baseline for the build, set a budget first and it'll be easier to work from that.

I'll stick around tomorrow 'cause I don't quite have time atm, so I'm going to ask you one more question. Does the latest Intel i7 processor have any difference in gaming from the latest i5 one? I've heard it doesn't but I'm not quite the computer expert to find out.
