Upgrading motherboard and CPU
Hi.
I am planning to change my motherboard and CPU. At first I thought only to change the processor but Intel processors are so expensive. So now i'm planning to buy AMD.
My computer specs are given below. I wont be changing my graphics card. Or RAM. Only the CPU and mobo.And the PSU.
So these are the models i have selected:
AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX4300 or FX6300 Processor
ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 Motherboard.
My query is whether i should buy a 4 core or 6 core processor, considering my graphics card is not so great. Will the GPU hold back my CPU?
My graphics is NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 2GB synergy edition.
I would be grateful for any input. Thank you.
Preethy.
PS. I use my pc for gaming.
