I have a q9550 E0 stepping and im planning to buy an R7 260x.
Resolution is 1366x768 or even lower. RAM is 4 gb DDR3
The motherboard i have doesnt let me overclock my CPU .
Should i buy i new motherboard with p45 chipset for overclocking or the non-overclocked q9950 is already enough for the resolution ?
I have no idea how much the motherboard would cost me?
Then i`ll have to buy an aftermarket cooler too. Would it be cost-effective?
