Is my PC decent for Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

[Shaggy]

Current specs:

• AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-core 2.2 Ghz
• Radeon 6850
• 4 GB RAM
  

Running Brawl, it slows to ~50% speed whenever I start a match. Help?

Your CPU is too slow.

Plays perfect for me...

What about it needs to be upgraded?

You're talking as if the processor is made up of several parts that can be upgraded. You need an entire new processor to run the game at full speed since your current processor is too slow. Overclocking to 3.0GHz would help a bit, but still probably not full speed.

You should overclock to at least 2.4 GHz.

That's not going to be anywhere near enough. He needs a totally new cpu, period.

People get tired of being told they need a new PC.

I'm planning on building for my next PC, would this work?

• AMD FX 8150
• Radeon 6850
• 8 GB RAM
  

The reason I'm going AMD is because I get the motherboard free with this CPU. I would rather go Intel, but eh.

Lol that processor is still rather weak.
