    pc specs

    ati hd 4890 1gb
    955 quad core black edition 3.2 at 3.5
    m5a 88-v evo mother board with 8gb 1600 ram

    ive just purchased the 7970 and hope to get a massive increase in fps...
    just wondering weather my 955 quad core at 3.5 will compliment it or will i get a bottle neck...
    i was looking at the AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4170 Black Edition 4.20Ghz, its £107
    but will it be worth upgrading from my 955...
    will i notice much differance...
    would appreciate some helpfull input..

    You will notice some differance. Its a lot quicker than the 955 straight out of the box.
    Plus the 4170 is clockable to 5.0GHz+.
    £107, What a bargin..
