So currently I have a single core Pentium 4 2.8ghz with 2 threads and it is holding back my PC a lot. I have a Nvidia 9800GT with I believe a half gig of memory, and a 4GB DDR2 ram, but i am on 32bit W7. So I do have some hope right? I know i really need to upgrade the motherboard to take this old hunk of junk anywhere but I found this CPU (the Pentium G630) and was wondering if I could use it on my motherboard. I feel that any upgrade to the CPU would help a lot. Do keep in mind I am wanting to run games like Gary's Mod, Dragon Age: Origins, Counter Strike etc at 60fps.
