Currently using:
Asus M3N78-VM Mobo
Phenom I 9650 x4 2.3ghz
8gb ddr2 ram
Nvidia gtx 550 ti
I'm looking to get better performance for gaming (the old republic specifically). Is it worth upgrading my cpu? Looking at a Phenom II 965 x4 3.4 ghz black edition. To the best of my knowledge, this cpu will be compatible with my current mobo after updating the bios. Can anyone confirm this?
I don't really have the money to build a new system at the moment, so I'm hoping I can get a decent performance boost by dropping a $135 upgrade into it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
