Vast, vast, vast improvements, but varies based on what your other specs are. What's your full system specs and what resolution are you planning to run your games on?

Yes, specs are required although the difference would be massive. You are going from pretty much integrated performance up to last generations high end.

I had a buddy that did this exact swap with an E8400 and his performance gain was exponential. He was required to change his PSU though. As stated above we need full specs.
