ok, so i have a gateway computer, please dont give me answers like i should just buy a new computer because im 15 and have nowhere near enough money to buy one. However, i have enough money to buy a processor. I was looking at a processor, and have made sure it fits the socket type and everything. here are the exact specs for my computer:
CPU: Intel Pentium G630
GPU: Integrated graphics
HD: 750 GB
Socket type: LGA1155
motherboard: Not sure, but it's max wattage is 65 W
Power supply: 220 W
so 65 W is the max processor i can get
im running calll of duty black ops 2 currently with everything on low settings, at about 20-30 fps, and also games such as starcraft with same results. Would my computer have much of a difference if i got a Intel Core i3-2120? I think it's better than an intel Pentium, but would it make a difference gaming wise? Also, taking into account that this computer accepts upgrades for the graphics card with a memory slot type of DDR3, what could be the cheapest graphics card I could buy that may signifigantly increase performance? Sorry shouldve mentioned earlier the computer is a
Gateway SX2855.
Once again, helpful answers only, not just telling me to buy a new computer please. I'm particularly interested in this processor because i found it for $89 used in good condition on amazon, so I was wondering what else you guys need to know to answer this, but basically, whats the cheapest graphics card i could get to improve performance with the processor i have now, or, what do you guys think the processor i mentioned would do to my gaming, as it has a later version of Integrated HD graphics (I know not the best but it seems to work for me so far, with first gen integrated graphics getting about 20-30 fps on low settings on black ops 2. a little less on black ops 2 zombies.)
