So im going to buy some new parts on the 20th day. And what im getting is:
Athlon II x3 445 3.1ghz
2gb DDR3 1333
and reusing my current GT 220
MSI 760G-E51
LCpower 450W, LC6450 v2.2, Silent Green Power (80+ of course)
My real life friend has a Pentium dual core E5200 @ 2.5ghz, 4GB DDR2 RAM and a GT 220.
Hes currently playing Bad Company 2 at medium graphic settings (Played it myself at his place so not lying)
The question is that would i get better performance with the Athlon II x3 445 @ 3.1ghz in BC2 versus a 2.5ghz dual core?
And how much better?
Im also having a VERY hard time deciding on Athlon II x3 445 or Phenom II x2 555
But since im going to be playing multithreaded games like Bad company 2, GTA IV, World of warcraft then shouldnt the AII x3 be better? On other forums people always say that the Phenom II DUAL CORE is much better for gaming. which i kind of understand since it has much more cache and better architecture. but still.
Thanks!
