I want to know the optimal CPU for this PC, what I want to do is just use it as an everyday machine 24/7 and play some games at either 1280x1024 or 1152x864 at low-mid settings. I can choose from
1. AMD Athlon II X4 640 Quad Core (81$)
2. AMD Athlon II X3 450 Tri Core (76$)
3. AMD Athlon II X2 270 Dual Core (55$)
Keep in mind I want to spend as little as possible because this whole system will need a replacement soon anyway so if the performance difference is not significant I'd rather go with the cheaper choices.
My spec are :
PSU : 450W
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (512 MB GDDR5)
RAM : 4GB DDR2 800Mhz
CPU : DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2700 MHz (13.5 x 200) 5200+
