Hi:
I want to upgrade my computer for gaming recently. I bought a GTX 660Ti video card 3 months ago and found it was still hard to meet my expectations on ultra settings when playing Battlefield 3. Then I realized my CPU (AMD Phenom II X 4 945 ~ 3.0GHz) might be the bottleneck. Now, I have a $500 budget to upgrade, since I don't know much about computers, can anyone give me some suggestions on what to buy? This computer was bought in 2010, and it was HPE-400y. 64 bit system. The memory is 8GB, Foxconn 2AB1 motherboard. Do I need to buy a new motherboard to fit my new CPU? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
