Worth upgrading?

[Smite]

I got me an AMD X2 6000+ @ 3.11ghz.

I have never built a PC before, or touched sensetive parts such as the mobo, CPU, gfx card. I have changed HDD's and rams a few times.

Is it worth my upgrading to an i5 750 and a p55 motherboard, from this setup, bearing in mind im a noob at this.

your pc building skills has nothing to do with the need to upgrade. Dos your pc do everything you want it to? if yes then you there is no need to learn to self just yet. If you do wan to start use the search button/google and youtube plenty of beginers tips on there. If you get stuck post and we will help out

Well, my CPU is, IMO crap.

I havent seen benchmarks and stuff. But It's a pretty shoddy piece of crap.

The only problem for me is that i've got a dual gpu setup (crossfire to be exact) and the 1366 socket is supposed to be a lot better for that, and also upgradability.

I'm wondering though, how soon 6-cores will become used in games...

Al's point is more about what the processor causes you problems with, does it give poor performance in a new game you've just brought etc.

thing i hate bout most games is it only uses 2 cores, so us 4/6 core owners get a bit chipped off the sand.if you rly want to upgrade then see what socket u have and gets the best of what u can get.

Seeing as you have a 6000+ AM2 CPU you might be able to upgrade to a Phenom II based CPU, which motherboard do you have?

lol how you know it's no good when you're not even read up on it?

Talking about 6 cores+ is still a bit too soon. If I was you I would find out what my setup is and find out what can be upgrade or if it's cheaper to by a new build.
