    Zenaku what kind of motherboard do you have? i noticed in a earlier post you said you were thinking up upgrading to a 1055t from a 925. while the 1055t is a better cpu, its not much of an upgrade. The extra 2 cores will help you with multitasking but not much difference in gaming compared to what you have now; I would recommend the 1075t or 1090t, those 2 would be more of an upgrade with more noticeable difference in gaming compared to 1055t.

    I build my computer around the time FFXIV is about to release so i don't have support for AMD3+ so i can get any CPU as long as it's AMD3 . Once i have enough money i will upgrade my mobo and my cpu but for now i just want something to last me longer.

    From the benchmark i seen the 1055 and the 1075 are only 326 in score but i guess that don't matter to much. I guess i get myself a 660 video card and save enough to get myself a 1090T or just use that money to upgrade my mobo with a AMD3+ cpu i guess i also have to get myself DDR3 ram to go with it

    If your really looking to upgrade, then go with the 660, and save up for an AM3+ mobo. Then save up for a FX-6300 or any of the FX-8000 series chips. The ASRock 970 EXTREME3 or EXTREME4 are some nice boards for value.

    Agreed on this. Didn't notice he had a 925. Not worth upgrading from that to another AM3.
