Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my old dual core to a quad core. I currently have this motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128376R
Which has a AM2+ socket, so I heard that limits the compatibility of some cpus. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a quad core CPU that would fit that socket.
I think the dual core I have currently is starting to be a bottleneck on my system and ruining the performance of games, mainly Witcher 2 which is stuttering like hell and I get a bad FPS all around.
Here are the rest of specs on my system:
AMD Phenom II X2
ATI Radeon 4870
650watt PSU
Thanks.
