My friend currently has a AMD Phenom I 9550 @ 2.2Ghz. He wants to upgrade his CPU as he just got a 6870 and feels as if it’s being slightly bottlenecked.
He doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so far we have looked at getting a good cooler for around £50 and overclocking the 9550. Or upgrading to a Athlon II 640 3.0Ghz which is £80. So would it be better to overclock or upgrade to the Athlon.
