    Intel i5 650-660 are the mid-liners of the i series, and range from 100€-250€

    A Radeon HD 5870/6850 can cost anywhere from 160€-200€, but is pretty reliable and can handle most of the current games on High-Semi Max settings.


    However, you have to consider buying more RAMs to make the most out of your machine, as well as an additional PSU for power supply.

    no idea what kind of cpu you can get with that money but with 100$ you can try llike 9600 gt with 512-1gb memory, and with rest of money you might as well get core tu due if you search

    I don't think he can afford it, seeing he can only afford 300 euros for both of them.

    First, we need to know your current specs, so we know what kind of slot for CPU you have, as well as what PSU, RAMs you have.

    If we're talking about Aion 2.5 particularly, there is a cap to 60fps in-game. You need the console to disable dat shit.

    processor seems fine. if its really that slow in terms of Teleporting/Loading AION/Clash in PVP i suggest you re format your machine and keep service apps to minimal.

    i would however replace that video card. spend what you got on high end video card and you should be fine.

    You guys are dumb or what? The processors you are recommending him and his motherboard are incompatible , and the guy with the GT240 , are you retard this video card is worst than 9800GT . What mark is your PSU , if it is from those No-Name Chinese PSU's they real W are like 250-300W max..

    P.S : Better go talk with some "specs" I'm sure they will recommend you everything you need :)

    lol. you could also try and help the guy instead minding what others are saying.

    like i said, his problem is with the video card and with his budget his better off looking for a compatible high end video card than upgrading everything.

    Make sure neither bottlenecks the other

    an i5 + hd5850/gtx460 would be superb.
