hello everyone!
so my friend has a PC with
intel core 2 duo E8400
8 GB RAM DDR3
gigabyte GTX 750 ti 2gb
he found a Q8200 cpu and he wants to exchange his e8400 with it, would the four cores give him some fps boost in games like GTA V and the witcher 3, ac syndicate and BF1 etc? or that's will be a downgrade? he plays on low settings and he's fine with 30fps. thanks : )

Definitely! It would be an upgrade.I would suggest he/she try overclocking as well to get the most out of it. Though with the ageing in that processor you should recommend an upgrade. I would suggest a Pentium G4650 with a h110 motherboard and 8gb of ddr4, it would come to about $180usd and would increase the fps three fold.
