Yagi is your only hope.

You won't see a CPU bottleneck unless it is the older athlons and phenoms (not II) or C2D

Why do people always do this.

PLAY THE GAME FIRST

then

decide if you need an upgrade.

Also you won't need to upgrade

I can guarantee it that most people were "maxing" (lol nope) at 1280x1024 in 2008

[QUOTE="Gambler_3"]Nobody cares.

Well, somebody cared and inserted the bullet point in Windows 8's features list. People cared when AMD missed SSE2 support (double precision floating point) with AMD K7 Athlon XP.

Windows 8 can be updated with AMD's WDDM 1.1 drivers.

Also with regards to Windows 8 support for the AMD Radeon? HD 2000, 3000, 4000 Series of products; the In-the-box AMD Graphics driver that ships with Windows 8 will include support for the AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series, and it will support the WDDM 1.1 driver level features. The AMD Catalyst driver for Windows 8 will only include support for WDDM 1.2 support products (AMD Radeon HD 5000 and later).

I think Athlon XP was generally considered to be a great chip, and a big success for AMD. Didn't work out too badly for them.

It was good, yes. But the 70% intel userbase kept pushing "but mhz" or "but dual channel memory" or "but this one app that only p4 does better" in every thread.

Getting a lecture on stuttering by a guy that spells it studdering.

Because the decrease in power usage did not decrease as much as the size of the chip. So it is actually putting out more heat per mm^2

[QUOTE="silversix_"]You should wait until at least the 700's series before upgrading. There's no games released nor announced that you wouldn't run maxed out... Metro LL is one but bad optimization will probably be the reason so even with two 670 you'll have fps dropping below 30's or even 20's. ARMA3? meh unless u want 60fps.04dcarraher

Here's an example below skip to about 1:30, this is running out of Vram does to games. Not just get low fps spikes.

what?

If that computer is for gaming only I would spend half as much on the processor and dump all the savings on the graphics card.
