My system currently is running an apu (the a10 7890k oc to 4.8) as a cpu and also has a SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 480 4GB, I dont have any money for an upgrade so im wondering if my spare xeon cpu+mobo would provide better performance? I would like to have the replies more performance based than brand. 

 

Thanks 

Coop

G4560 and H110 mobo. Should be able to get them for 100$. Maybe you can find a mobo that supports ddr3.

Dual core??? I do currently have a Quad core so i think this might be a downgrade

Core count (alone) =/= performance

Clockspeeds (alone) =/= performance

 

Performance is based on a combination of:

architecture, clockspeeds, core count, ram speed/latency, cache and multi-threading (with or without) and more.

 

If you want to see performance of a cpu, look up Cinebench r15 benchmark (insert cpu name).

Nope, you're better off with the AMD. Supports more instructions, runs a higher clock, and draws less power.
