Thanks Kaap for the benches.

My results are quite similar. Heaven comes out at 58fps, Valley at 67fps. Max on both was about 90, and watching both play through I was sticking around the 60fps most of the time.

Max cranked settings on both.

Overall I don't think it's too bad all things considered. I may jump on a i5 2500 (not K) and see how the extra 2 cores help out, but to be honest some of the work I've been doing recently would benefit from a quad anyway.

Not bad, not bad at all methinks.

No problem.:)
 
lol Uncle_Gravy, sorry to disappoint.

She's getting patched into Adobe Premiere and Handbrake tonight for some serious editing. Might as well make use of the compute too!
 
Given how games are lightly threaded and how demanding they are on the GPU rather then CPU I can't really see your G820 being that bad for gaming but yes your system is very lop sided. Still I would much rather have a £1000 video card and a £100 CPU in my gaming PC and rather then £100 video card and £1000 CPU.

Well that's rather obvious given you can get a new i7 for just over £250.

Or sell the 1000 Pound Card and spent 500 on a cpu and 500 on a GPU?
 
Thanks for everybody's input.

Just wanted to say the Pentium has worked out rather well for gaming with no real issues. However I've just grabbed a new i5 2500 for a great price for some Windows Phone 8 dev work (the Pentium doesn't have half the bells and whistles required for the Windows Phone emulator and such) and will be dropping it in. Still stuck on PCI-E 2.0 obviously but throwing another 2 cores can't hurt.
