Current PC:
Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.67Ghz E6700
Nvidia GTX 260
4GB (I've forgotten what it was, don't have desktop with me).
The whole thing is fairly ancient (got it back in early 2007) and games released now are not performing at an acceptable level (notably AC Black Flag and Planetside 2). Would I gain any kind of performance boost with said games if I stuck a new supported CPU on, etc? Or would it be more prudent to simply buy a new modern motherboard, etc?
I'm not asking for super duper FPS at astronomical resolutions with very single graphical bell and whistle turned on in the game menu, just something that would make newer games runs at 40+ FPS at medium settings or something.
AC Black Flag being a case in point. The game wouldn't break 25fps even with every single setting turned to off or low (although that might have had something to do with optimization).
