Hey guys,
in need of some advices here

This is my current PC spec:
CODE
Proc: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Mobo: Gigabyte 965P-DS3
RAM: 2GB HyperX PC6400 DDR800 CL4-4-4
GPU: 1GB DDR5 ATI ASUS EAH5750


I'm able to play at high setting but still choppy frame rate at times.. (which also forced me to play at low setting during multiplayer sessions)
I think Starcraft 2 is such a great game that i must enjoy the campaign at its all glory ultra setting!
So looking at my rig spec, i believe the processor seems to be the bottleneck right? and referring to this article, the game relies heavily on CPU more than GPU. and Phenom II X2 seems like a good value for money..

So that means i would need:
PHENOM II X2 555 (RM 319) + budget mobo

So my questions are:

- What's the recommended motherboard to be paired with the PHENOM II X2 555?
- Will there be a significant improvement over my current E6400 4years old processor?
- Will I be able to play comfortably at ultra setting (1680x1080 resolution) & decent frame rate?
- Or should i topup a little bit more for 4cores? (dont suggest me i7 lol i just want value for my bucks here)
- Is it a good investment?

TQ!

Hi, maybe you should try upgrading ure ram to 4GB 1st. This game also has a high ram usage, even my 4GB is a lil choppy at the start be4 it smoothens out. If that doesnt work then get get a new cpu tongue.gif
