Hi, just wondering if anyone could tell me how much of an upgrade would the Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor be from the Pentium listed in the title. I try to record gameplay and edit but the Pentium just doesn't cut it I also have a GTX 950 2gb if that helps. Thanks

As Nine says, you need to verify compatibility with your motherboard. That said, the quad-core, hyperthreaded Xeon would be a huge upgrade over a dual-core Pentium and will be much more capable of multitasking (i.e., playing games and recording at the same time.) It'll also be better at editing and rendering video.
