Hi...i have an amd x2 260 ocd to 3.8ghz. . .its 1year old. . .i have an option to sell it and buy a 3 year old amd athlon x3 2.9ghz with that money. . .my purpose is gaming. . .should i go for it??

help out guys. . .my config is given in my signature.

if u play only CS it wont help you much

as for others..it will help...

Cs means counter strike? how long will the 3yr old cpu serve me?

It won't add much. Being 3 year's old I'm not sure how good a idea its to get it as owner has used it a lot.

You will get performance improvement for sure but see if you find a second hand Phenom II x4 or even a Athlon x4. That would be more of a better upgrade.

those r nt available right now. . .
