Hello,
I am John, and I need your advice:
- my current spec:
CPU = Intel E6750
MB = Gigabyte (I`m not at home, and I don`t know the full name)
RAM = 2GB
OS = Win7 Home Premium
GPU = Geforce GTX 460 SE Cyclone
2xHDD set up in RAID0
- my goal:
upgrade my Motherboard, CPU and RAM
- why ?
better enjoy 1-2 hours of gaming / day after work
- why (2)
I play SWTOR and I have 20-60 FPS, and constantly 20 FPS while I PvP (fight versus other human players)
Keep in mind that I am not a manic gamer, I just need to enjoy a bit of free time after work (when my wife will let me).
- what I have found:
Intel Core i3-2100

vs
Intel Core i5-2500K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
- what I picked up in the forum:
i5 better than i3, BUT the price is Almost DOUBLE... is it Really that good?
- also please tell me what does a Z68 chip motherboard mean ? what should I look for?
Thank you very much for your time.
