Hi everyone, about 6 months ago I built my first decent pc, I use it mainly for gaming but do some encoding and Photoshop, I went with AMD, after i saw an Athlon 640 quad core for £57, so its all together and works fine, but I'm disappointed with the performance of it, it lags on games like F1 2012 and Skyrim on High, but my res is only 1360x768 (I'm using a 26" TV) I don't know whether I'm expecting too much of it, or its just crap, either way I'm not happy , the full specs are;
Athlon X4 640 @ 3.75Ghz
Asus AM3+ MOBO w/760g chipset
8gb Ram
2tb HDD
Palit Gtx 560 se (Not the best i know, wanted a radeon 6850 but was out of stock for a month)
Now i have 3 options and £200
I can get an FX 8320, and keep the 560se
Or
I can get a Radeon 7850 2gb and keep the Athlon
Or
I can sell the MOBO and Athlon and get an 1155 board and an i3 3220, and keep the 560se
Which would give me the best performance for games, not too bothered about the encoding or photoshop as I probably do this about twice a month, and the photoshop isn't demanding (My P4 2.8 Handled it fine whilst keeping the room nice and warm
Any suggestions are much appreciated
Thanks
