Looking for a (reasonably) cheap & cheerful boost to my gaming rig. I'm currently using an AMD x2 5600+ and I don't think it cuts the mustard any more! Lots of more recent games run badly even with their settings turned down really low, and I'm fed up.
I also have 4 gig ram and an ATI 5700 graphics card. I think it's my CPU that's the issue but perhaps I'm wrong! I used to be really 'into' PC parts but it's been a while, so yell at me if my choices are bad. I've looked around and this feels like a good price/perf upgrade for me:
