Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a Asus Desktop PC. the CM1630 model.
here is the link to the specs
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+/+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+X2+Processor+/+4GB+Memory/1700107.p?id=1218282105177&skuId=1700107
I upgraded the Power Supply to a 800w Rocketfish. I installed a ATI 5770 GPU.
I've read that my CPU which is a AMD Athlon X2 220 Regor is holding me back. It is a Socket AM3 941 pin.
I'm looking to upgrade. Is it worth it with the stock mother board? I want something that can push out a little more power for video games. My current CPU is is always running at like 90%+ in games, its not running hot or anything, its just seems like its holding me back. Plus I've had some stuttering problems with a certain game which I've read was because it uses alot of my CPU. They used the term "Bottlenecking the video card" which I'm not sure what that means exactly.
