Looking to update CPU
Current system
Intel E4500 2.2ghz (OC@3ghz) /w ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 4gb G.SKILL 4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L EVGA GeForce 8800 GT Superclocked just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I built it 2 years ago and haven't looked at comp hardware info since. So what would be a good CPU upgrade for this comp in the $150-$180ish range. Would be nice if i could reuse the arctic cooling also. All i do on here is browse internet and play games(wow, gtaiv, cod4, etc). no video editing, cad, blah blah. i see e8400 mentioned a lot here and there, but also that its overpriced... is quad core worth it for a gamer or core 2 duo still the way to go? |
