I currently have a Dell inspiron pc my specs are
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5800 Cpu @3.20ghz
It has integrated graphics(Intel hd 3000) can I upgrade to a new graphics card?
6gb of ram
64 bit Windows os
What do I have to upgrade so I can play bf3, and other pc games
 

Because that CPU is $H!t, along will all of the Bulldozer lines of CPU's. I don't understand why people buy that crap. They have horrible performance, run way too hot, and use insane amounts of power. Now, Piledriver CPU's are a different story and I would actually consider getting one, but the whole Bulldozer line is junk. People who buy them didn't look at any benchmarks or look at Intel CPU's before their purchase, otherwise they would have realized that even an i3 beats the 8-core Bulldozer chips in almost any gaming situation.

But whatever, if you think you made a good purchase that's all that matters I guess, but I'm telling you that CPU is junk.
