Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help.
Heres my problem:
I started out with this,
http://www.asus.com/Desktop/Entertainment/Essentio_CM5570/#specifications
I recently went out and got the Nvidia GTX 560 Ti, with a 650w power supply. This card is very good. Im trying to play a game that has 1000 AI in a single battle, and my CPU is simply too slow to process the AI movement, attacks and such.
Right now my CPU is a Pentium(R) Dual Core 2.60 GHz
My questions are :
1. How hard is it to replace a CPU? i understand i have to replace the motherboard as well.
2. Im not trying to spend too much on this, considering i just spent a lot on the other things. Can anyone show me good combos of CPU/Motherboard that will be a great speed for this "AI" problem im having?
3. For anyone who knows, if i purchased these 2 upgrades, could i take my rig to geek squad to have them put in? Does geek squad do that?
Never done it before and wouldnt want to mess things up.
Again, thanks for any help.
