Thanks for replying so quickly, I'm on a limited budget (no more than 700 for the pc) so I wasn't expecting too much. Yet you seem like more of an expert than myself, what would you recommend?
So, no. 6300 @ 4.3 is weaker than i3-4130 @ whateveritsstockspeedis.
Also, people should stop getting single-DIMM sets. You can only utilize half of the DDR3 channels like that, which means slower performance, sorta. Unless you only run dual-channel (2-4 DIMMS) in ganged mode. Who even does that?
But, really, it depends on the games. If it's something light like Wind Waker, then you might be able to. Anything heavier, though, and you'd have no chance.
I don't think my reply worked...
So I'm on a limited budget, like n more than 650 for the pc... you seem like you know more about this kind of stuff than I do, what would you recommend I upgrade? Besides the 2x 4 gig sticks of ram instead of a 1x8 one.
