hi so i just sold my 7750 and planning buying 7870 along with new psu..

my current processor is : Athllon x2 250
motherboard : zotac 6100 value AM2+

my question is will it be ok to run it with athlon x2 250 or should just i upgrade my cpu and with upgrading motherboard too

thank you

You're probably mostly ok with that configuration, but an upgrade would be a good choice. That old dual core at 3Ghz is a bit of a pig on newer games.

will it be lot of difference if i upgrade my cpu by buying fx 6300, like 10~15 fps more?

i dont want to end up buying everything that mean this is not an upgrade anymore if the difference are so slight
the games i try to play are gta v, witcher iii, ac unity

hm it sucks to spend $200 more for new motherboard and cpu

would gladly do that if i could sell my cpu and motherboard, since i lost my package box it would be pain in butt to sell it

im in Indonesia,is there any particular reason why are you ask?

Good luck then. I think you'll probably be ok. There may some other CPUs you can upgrade to that will improve things for a much smaller investment than going with a new build but you'd have to look into that through a local shop probably. I'm pretty sure you can find a quad core around 3Ghz that will fit your board.
