Hi all, a slightly different question than most.
I'm currently running a somewhat old system by most standards on here - core2duo E6750 with a Radeon 4970 or something similar. Being strapped for cash, I was looking at getting a bit of a boost for as little £ as possible. Main uses are gaming (BF3 was the latest I've played, hopefully some more Civilization in the future if I can find the time).
I was thinking of getting an E8600 off fleabay, can pick one up for £30. Do you think the increase in performance would be noticeable. I think it's the CPU rather than gcard that's limiting things at the moment (some stutter on BF3 for example)
Thanks
