Getting the AMD Phenom II X4 960T

is it a good cpu for running games before 2013 like bo2 bo1 waw skyrim
and will it bottleneck
i s it a good overclocker

it might but that CPU is almost 5 years old. if you are hard set on going AMD just wait until the new zen CPUs come out or go for a 3rd or 4th gen I5

It is a good upgrade if you're stuck with perhaps the old 2010 PC with *for instance* an AthlonIIx2 235 and just want to upgrade that and get more juice out of it then by all means.
It will cure the bottleneck of the dual core Athlon, ..Your games will run much faster/be richer, fuller -but you'll still have issues against any newer setup
I surely wouldn't build a new desktop with that processor

I would assume that this is the best cpu the OPs current board supports.
Otherwise no, this would be a pointless plattform to buy into if you dont already have motherboard.

It will perform ok for pre 2013 games but wont be a rockstar by any stretch, processor came out in q4 2010 so it was already dated in 2013. More importantly is that anything above a GTX 1050 or RX-460 GPU will be bottlenecked by this CPU so dont expect more then low-medium settings in most games.

sorry but i already built my pc with 9950 but that proceesor is crap and i dont play new games i have mainly older games i dont need much to play them

 

[GregFarley248]
