So The two main things that I think I need are a new Processor, and a Sound card. I'll start with my audio situation.
So about almost a year ago I got a Turtle Beach HPA2 headset. I haven't been able to plug in all of the cords, but it still works very good, but because of that, I'm sure that my soundcard doesn't support all of the features. Another issue is that whenever I turn up my volume on either my speakers, or my headphones, to hear something that's more quiet, there's an on going static noise, and I can barely hear the game I'm playing (I've had this problem the most wth Skyrim). The headphones are 5.1 surround, and I found a card that's about $13, and need to know if it would make a difference. It's the "Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1/16bit Sound Card".
Now about the CPU, I have an AMD Athlon 2 X3 Processor. I've been thinking about upgrading to four core, or six, but this is something I don't know much about. If I were to upgrade my processor, would it effect my loading times, framerate, and anything else? I allready have a good GPU, so I can run new games like Skyrim and Battlefield 3 at medium to high graphics, so it would be nice to go higher, and get a better framerate. Another thing would be that my friend and I plan to start a Minecraft server. What would be a good processor and RAM that could hold a decent amount of people and keep the lag at minimum.
Thanks in advance for your time :) .
