New processor help

[Vukasin]

Hi, i need help. I want to buy new processor, so i can play new games. I prefer cheap ones, because i dont have much money... I think my Motherboard is AM2... Can you help me, and tell me some processor's that can play new games (not on high graphic and that shit, but just PLAY)... And its not 110e+. Please. PS im not some computer pro, so use regular language instead of some complicated talk.

You should try to get the program 'EVEREST' (also known as AIDA now), to check your pc information, then we talk about it, since you'll provide us more info.

Okey, ill do it then post.

If you want your PC to perform better in games, then you need to buy a better graphics card, not a better processor.

Anyway, you do need to post your specifications because often with older PCs (if you have an older PC), it's not worth upgrading.

I just did a quick search for you... With an AM2 socket you are limited, but I've found a decent quad core for you...

You will likely need to purchase a new graphics card to, you will run into a bottleneck if you upgrade your CPU but still have a shit GPU.
Here's a decent GPU... http://ow.ly/3wS4y

meh, i have Nvidia GeForce 9500GT.. Its good enough for all games i want to play But my processor doesnt meet the requirments... GTA IV needs 2.5ghz Dual Core, and i have 2.4Ghz, but Graphic Card is good enough

Also, ive googled AMD ATHLON II X4 640 now. And it says its socket AM3... I dunno what that really means, but my motherboard is AM2... Can i buy AMD ATHLON II X4 640 now?

Well it says that it's backwards compatible with AM2 sockets but you may need to update the bios on your motherboard.

Is updating BIOs hard? And also, will i be able to upgrade my computer later ?

Not on mine, I can flash the bios using a USB stick. It depends on your motherboard.

It really depends on what processor you have at the moment. Your graphics card isn't the best but it isn't the worst either, it should be able to handle most modern games at medium/low settings but you obviously need a decent processor and around 4GB of DDR2 ram at least... You want to avoid bottlenecking, which basically means if you have a seriously good graphics card but a shit CPU, then you've wasted your money because the graphics card won't be able to perform properly.

If you're on a tight budget then maybe just buy a dual core like this one: http://ow.ly/3xDQC

They all seem to be backwards compatible with AM2 motherboards but it would help if you told us all what motherboard you have...

Intel Core I7 is awesum but if you don't wanna spend much money buy the i5 one like i have in my laptop.. It's great too 

[Vukasin]

i5 is like...... 200e, i dont have that much



Trojan, i have MS7369. Ive googled Call of Duty Black Ops requirments now... it needs Athlon II X2 260 ... Its 55e, which is good enough. And its all i need to play Call of Duty without lag. Just tell me, can i buy Athlon II X2 260, without buying new motherboard? And can you explain me: is 4gb of DDR2 RAM needed, or its just "better to havE" because i have 2gb ram.
