And with the rest of the money, you can buy more RAM.

well ty for the fast response!

^Your welcome, but I recomend you that also buy another RAM.

You need a better video card before you buy a better cpu. I think an AMD 4770 for around $110 would do wonders here.

------------------------------------

He only ask for a CPU, independent of this, for a better GPU too, is necesary another PSU.

Are you sure the CPU is your performance issue? Quick test is to put the graphics settings down to the lowest possible quality and resolution - if you have performance issues then you are CPU limited. If you only get performance issues when you up the graphics settings to a higher resolution etc then you are GPU (graphics) limited.

No. I disagree. A 4770 should work with the Dell original power supply. Yes, this adds stress to the system, but should work just fine.

i was going to sell my graphics card after i got a new processor and get a 4770.i already have 4 gigs of ddr2 ram.

^Good, so, buy the CPU, re-sell the GPU and buy the 4770...

alright thankyou.just trying to make sure i get what i payed for cuz i dont wanna upgrade forawhile XD

Don't forget a Logitech G5 mouse.
