Hi, I'm starting to plan out my next system build, but I'm having a hard time choosing a CPU. Right now I have an AMD 3.1 GHz Dual Core, and I'm looking for something that will perform better in games. I've been looking at the Athlon II X4 635, which is an AMD quad-core 2.9 GHz. Despite having a lower speed, would this perform better? I mainly play newer games (Dragon Age, Fallout 3, etc.), and I have no interest in overclocking. Furthermore, if you want to recommend other AMD CPU's under $150, please feel free.
Thanks for your help!
