Right now I am running an Athlon II X2 Overclocked to 3.4 and I was thinking of upgrading it to a Phenom II X2 and hope to unlock more cores or X4 so maybe I can run Dolphin faster.
I am building my son a new computer without putting a whole lot of money into it, I was going to use Amd A-Series APU for the build so I can cut the video card out and add that later when I get the money.
Should I just buy the A-series for myself and give him my rig without doing an upgrade or should I just upgrade my computer? I have 4gb ram, supports 16gb ram and I have a Nvidia Geforce Gts450 running in it now.
If I had the money I would do an Intel build :-( so I am stuck on Amd.
thanks in advance.
