Hoping I can get an idea if this is necessary for one and then if it is possible. I’m considering an upgrade of my graphics card for Minecraft PC. But - my processor should be 3.1ghz and it is only 3.0ghz. Would it be possible for the 3.0 to suffice?

If not - I would attempt to overclock but it’s an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400. Seems that I may not be able to? It’s in an HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF that I wasn’t planning to use for any gaming when I bought it refurbished two weeks ago.
 
Solution
1. you wont be able to OC on that HP motherboard.
2. the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is minimal, you should see no performance difference running Minecraft.
