Hi Everyone, I have 2 machines which I'm trying to decide if I want to do something with. The first has a AMD X4 640, which is a backup machine, media server & light internet usage (no graphic intense games)
The 2nd machine has AMD FX 6100, which has mild internet usage & mild "intense" gaming. This is the system my step son uses & he lately has shown interest on playing more graphic intense type games.
While at Fry's, I picked up an Sata 3 120 GB SSD & a I5 2400.
My thought was to put the I5 in the case, where the 6100 was in & then move the 6100 into the case where the 640 is.
The SSD would go into the gaming system.
My question, do I do what I mentioned above, or is the 6100 fast enough for games & just adding an SSD be enough of an upgrade, or should I do what I mentioned previously?
Thanks
