I'm getting a new desktop PC for Christmas, and according to the vendor, it's optimized for gaming, but I'm not sure if these specs will be good enough:
CPU: Phenom X3 8450 (2.10GHz, triple nucleus)
RAM: 2 Gb
HDD: 320 Gb
OS: Windows Vista (I want to install Windows 7 afterwards)
Graphics card: a 256Mb card, but I have a GeForce 6200 (512 Mb) in my current computer that I'd install
Now a big question I have is that my current CPU works at 3.0GHz, but it's a single core... which CPU would be better for gaming, the X3 on the new PC or the single core I have now (running Windows 7, with the geforce card I mentioned)?
