Hi everybody,
Recently I've got the option to change my Q8200 2.33ghz for a E8500 3.16ghz, I can't make my mind on this so I'm asking...
My PC is just a game station, I do my work on it but nothing demanding just big worksheets and databases.
I play all recent games (FPS, RTS, Driving, etc) and I'm willing to overclock (q8200 is overclocked to 2.8Ghz and doesn't give much room to further OC).
My set up is:
Mobo: Foxconn Mars
PSU: Ultra lifetime series 750W
Cooler: Tuniq tower 120
GPU: ATI 4850x2
Ram : Kingston 2GBx2 800mhz
OS: Vista ultimate 64x
Case: Ultra something (dont remenber) Modded to exhaust GPU heat.
I dont have money to purchase a new cpu at the moment, so I was thinking about this trade.
Will my 4850x2 work better with E8500? I just care about gaming performance.
Thanks in advance for opinions!
