Should I upgrade to this processor?

Alright so I posted a while back that I was getting about down with PC gaming, but I finally found a game that got me back into it. (Minecraft :D) Still, when I posted that most people seemed to think my processor was the problem with most of my newer games running well (AMD 6000+ dual core) SO I'm thinking this processor would be a good upgrade? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103921). Would I see a significant update in game performance. Here's my current specs:

AMD 6000+
Geforce GTS 250 1GB
Windows 7
4GB 800MHz Gskill Ram
320GB Hard Drive
23 inch 1080p Acer Monitor

I can't even tell what socket type the 6k+ is, but I can generally just let you know, if you're upgrading your processor, you're going to need to get a new motherboard as well.theafiguy

its am2+ if you live in canada u can still buy phenom II x4 920's for those on tigerdirect.ca however ud then need to get a fan for it cause their all oem only.

your only other option is to replace the motherboard and fcpu completely

if your board is an AM2 board you are out of luck, if its AM2+ you have options. list your motherboard make and model.

No my mobos am2 and am3, I just bought it like a month ago and paid a decent sum for it lol. Newegg said it supported am3 at leastlordlunch2

I'd upgrade as much as you can afford on that PC, it looks dated.covertgamer78

HD is tiny, GPU is wimpy for modern games. RAM is a touch slow. CPU is an older dual core. Gaming experience will be better if upgrading entire PC is possible. I'm not talking about the monitor.covertgamer78

excuse me .. ddr3 is energy efficient ddr2 thats all it is really. its ddr2 that consumes less power and has better timings. this is prooven in bench after bench.

HD is small okay so he adds a second hard drive WuTeVa

and weve already recommended a phenom II x4 which he could upgrade to on tha dime atm

The GTS250 is still plenty for todays multiplats. Far from wimpy. And a 320gb drive wouldn't really affect ones in game experience. The difference between DDR2 and DDR3 is minor. Like I said. The only thing thats "dated" is the CPU in which case a Phenom ll has already been suggested. gmaster456

You are excused. You are reinforcing what I stated. I said "RAM is a touch slow", I am aware DDR3 is slightly faster than DDR2 hence my statement. You are agreeing he needs more HD space and a new CPU. You can't put much on that HD, especially if you have a Steam account with any games in your folder. Point of your post is? To be the resident troll. You need to get modded yourself, o wait you already were banned. I C A pattern here. LUHLZ LUHLZ LUHLZcovertgamer78

covert i expected more from you.. you used to be cool..

is that really what u think about all this covert..

I would understand posting this here if our hardware discussion section was hidden, but it's RIGHT UNDER this section. Come on, man.

I don't know what you definition of playable is, but a 4850 can easily play most multiplats at 1080p and easily maintain 30fps on High/Max. Even Bad Company 2. There are (obviously) a few exceptions.gmaster456

indeed i won a 4850.. before i stopped using it i was playing bfbc2 @ 1680 x1200 on my 32" tv on high that was with a core 2 duo at that.

i was playing crysis warhead and metro 2033 the same way. the msot graphically demanding ames we have atm (omitting perhaps crysis 2 but i dont own therfore cant comment)

covert u just hate ppl with older hardware.. thats all their is to this. you hate older ahrdware for some reason..
