I currently have an e2180 @ 3.2ghz with an 8800gt. Would like to get a new graphics card this summer when the new ones are out but how much will this CPU hold me back? Been playing assassins creed @ 1680x1050 and while it plays very well with max settings but 2 (4x?) MSAA, it has room for improvement. This CPU cost me ~£50 and to buy another for ~£100 and not see much/any improvement doesn't really appeal to me. I could put this money towards the next graphics card.
Does the e2180 need to go? and what would be best (£/performance) to replace it with for gaming?
