Performance Increase?

Hi guys, I'm building my new PC finally. I just wondered about how much of a performance increase I should expect.

My old PC specs:

CPU: AMD athlon x2 7750 Black Edition (running @ 3.0ghz)

MoBo: Asus M3A78-em

GPU: nVidia Zotac 9500 GT (1GB of DDR2)

RAM: 4GB (2 x 2gb) of DDR2 PC6400 OCZ Gold

My new PC specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition ( @ 3.3 ghz)

MoBo: Asus M4A88td-v evo usb3

GPU: nVidia EVGA GTX 260 (core 216) (yes I know its kinda old but it was really cheap on craigslist, lol)

RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) of DDR3 PC12800 Corsair vengeance @1600 Mhz

Well I guess that about sums it up then and any opinions on my new system would be nice thanks

 

Acording to the benchmarks not much of an increase in performance. especialy on the processor upgrade.

 

I don't think you will even notice the difference at all..

 

Are you guys serious? C'mon I know you're kidding me. It seems way better.

 

Yea, its going to make a difference. Going from a Duo to a x6 will be quite the push, and the double in RAM will help quite a bit.

 

That change in graphics card would make a big difference for gaming. The 260 kills off a 9500GT, even SLI'd.

 

Most task can't even utilize multi cores. If the OP is using a 64 bit operating system then there will be a slight performance gain going from 4 gigs to 8 gigs of ram.

 

I'd hope he would be using 64 bit heh.

Also, assuming that because he is knew to building a new rig, and its decent enough, its going to be for gaming. Almost all games utilize multi-cores now. I would assume a lot of big time applications (Photoshop, etc.) would also do the same. That whole "Not using multiple" ended a couple years ago I do believe.

 

some games use 2 cores. and yes you are right photo shop, rendering programs, video creation, etc. all use multi cores. most home users do very little of these task.

 

Yes, I'm using a 64 bit version of windows 7 ultimate. So far it seems to be murdering my old PC for games .
