Your point is moot if he dosent OC. The fact that he has a 305w PSU current would pretty much solidify that he dosent. Even with a new psu he might not want to.

Somewhat. I think at his resolution he could benefit from the newer processor with the 4850. His processor isnt bad If he got a OC out of it but dell's are very tricky to OC. He needs to also tell us what type of games he wants to play. Certain games are more cpu intensive and his resolution is right on the border of whether or not his cpu will really hurt him.

If he plays mmorpg or RTS then he should get the new proc. If he plays just FPS then he should be fine outside of crysis and ut3.

EDIT- I just checked and a new cpu wouldn't really help him resolution wise. His resolution isn't low so the games are most likely at his resolution going to be more GPU demanding.

So I can play Crysis on high at 1680x1050 with this Cpu?

You obviously want the 4870 so just get it.gamerwiz09

I havent upgraded my system for many years and im willing to

build my own system using E8400. Aside from buying a new video card, I wanna know which CPU is better for gaming.

Im still hesitating between Q6000 series and E8400 ( at this time im slightly prefering

over E8400 since it has high cloak ( 3.0gb ) compared to Q6000 and majority say not that many game use multicore)

Is E8400 really worth the shot over Q6000 for playing cpu intensive game like oblivon, rome/ med 2 total war?

I am also wondering whether E8400 and Q6000 are considered high end or mid end CPU.

4850,Q6600,CorsairHX520

Then that is your route.

CreasianDevaili

4850 is better than my 8800GT512 that I used on a maxed out AoC build, save for shadows, at 1920x1200. At your resolution it will handle everything. If you really want a better card then go for the 4870 instead of the 4850 but you want a better processor.

At your resolution your processor will hold you back if you just get a new psu and 4870. You said 4860,q6600, and hx520 OR 4870+psu.

If you felt the 4850 was weak then why would you put it up there?

[QUOTE="Horny-Dude"]How come nobody recomends the 4870?CreasianDevaili

Well we were trying to respect your combinations that you asked advice on which one was better. You want alittle more clock on your dualcore if your going to go with the 4850/4870. Then you also as you said need a new psu.

4870 without a better proc will be a waste overall. That is why no one is and you made it sound like you couldnt get a proc+4870+psu. Only proc+4850+psu or a 4870+psu.
