Hey all. Just a simple question here: where's my PC's performance bottleneck (what do I upgrade next?)
-Foxconn 2AB1 mobo
-AMD Athlon II X4 650 @ 3.2ghz
-16gb DDR3 ram
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 560ti
I'm not really willing to upgrade the mobo since I want to use the OEM edition of Windows I have so I'm stuck (as far as CPU's go) with AM3, 95w CPU's. So keep that in mind when you make your suggestion. Additionally, I do NO photo or video editing and primarily just game.
I was going to purchase a GTX 580 but then thought I might be processor limiting myself. Then I thought I might already be processor limited, but I'm not sure.
So what do I upgrade next?
