My son's first gaming build included an AMD 720 X3 paired with a Radeon 4870 1gb. This was pretty good for a first build and he's run it about 2 years.
He upgraded the GPU a little while ago to a Radeon 6950 2GB.
With the 6950, he can play most games at pretty high settings without a hitch, but still sees some slower frame rates, etc. on others.
He has less than $150 for a processor upgrade and is looking at the AMD phenon II x4 965. Its on sale right now for $140 including tax.
Will the 965 help him that much? He has 4 GB of 1333 Ram.
