Hello everyone. I'd appreciate some help with a choice before me.
My current PC is a Q6600 oc'd to 3 GHz with 8 GB RAM and an XFX R7 260X.
I was just given a i3-4150 with 8 gigs too, but no graphics card. I'm migrating to the new PC, but only have enough cash to upgrade either the CPU or the graphics card. I'd like to keep this new PC for some years (maybe not al long as th Q6600, but that one has been quite a faithful little machine).
Please tell me if I'm missing something in my post or you need some other details.
Thanks!
Edit:
I forgot to mention, this is mostly used for games. And over locking, while a plus, I'm mostly interested in for the longevity factor.
Edit 2:
I just ran a pass of Ice Storm Extreme (with an older HD4600 something) in the newer box, comparison here: http://www.3dmark.com/compare/is/3921438/is/3921431
Edit 3:
My budget is around US$300 (equivalent)
