Thanks Joxeon - I saw the ebay postings for £8 - £15 for this CPU. Do you have any links around the gtx1080 drive you mentioned out of them? I have been reading the one below if this is the one you have referred to

Seems like a Ryzen 3 3200G is about 65% faster. A Ryzen 3600 is about 310% faster.
Tyrlon2 do you have any gaming reflections of the update and do you have a particular GPU and resolution you could share?recently switched from an i7 920 (it had a modest overclock, i think it was @ 3.2ghz) to a 3700x. The same cpu based video encoding task I was doing on the i7 920 is over 4 times faster, maybe 4.5 with a 3700x.
In order to compare against gaming minimum specs and benchmark videos does anyone know what a I7 920 D0 stepping @3.6ghz would be in terms of a more modern intel or amd equivalent please?
Thank you Joxeon for the link, will see how the 1660 super goes with the 920 and consider the £10 investment!

Thank you for sharing your experience Tyrion2 and tamzzy for the the video link which was a very interesting watch. Seems like 1080p with these 10 year old bits of kit is still a goer!
