Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade my PC, at the moment I have an Intel E8400, but I've been looking at the i3, now as you know they're both Dual-Core cpu's. If I keep the same graphics card as I have right now, which is an ATI 4870 512MB, am I going to notice any substantial performance increase? I only ask because I'm not an expert, and I see they're both Dual Core. Thanks.
P.S. For what it's worth, I have 4GB of OCZ DDR2 at the moment, I don't know what speed they're running at, (1333mhz) I presume, but I'm going to be upgrading to Corsair XMS3 1600MHz, will that also give me a performance boost?
