New CPU
Hey guys,
So I recently built my first PC.
Performance is awesome so far.
One of the main reasons I built myself a PC was because I wanted to get into gaming.
Everything is going pretty good.
But I think my current CPU is somewhat bottlenecking my graphics card.
I post the specs below..
- CPU - Athlon X2 4450e 2.30GHz (No OC)
- Graphics - XFX Radeon HD5670 1GB
- Ram - Crucial 2x1GB 667
- Mobo - AsRock N68C-S UCC
- Windows 7.
My specs are very minimalistic since it's my first PC build..
As so for my mobo,
It supports AM2, AM2+, and AM3.
Also support DDR2, and DDR3 memory.
My only concern is my current CPU.
I noticed that the CPU tends to heat up and slow down when I multi task a bit.
My question is that which processor should I get?
I saw this reviews on this CPU.
AMD ADX250OCGMBOX Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core Processor - 3.00GHz, Socket AM3, 2MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s), Retail at TigerDirect.com
I chose the Athlon II X2 250 because it's on my budget.
And it could support DDR3 memory, so I can finally upgrade to DDR3 in the future.
