Yeah, with that CPU lol. Might also need to upgrade your motherboard to upgrade your CPU.

With any new chip out there, your PC will Go faster.

 

HOWEVER,

 

OVERCLOCK THAT CPU!

You will still be bottlenecked but like for my GTX 660 and Q6600, I gained nearly double the Framerate.  I doubt you will get the same increase but it's worth a try.

Not sure if you didn't know already but, with 1.31 Volts you should be capable of getting 3.2+ Ghz if you have adequate cooling.

 

Also, assuming that your motherboard uses PCI-E 1.0 like mine did, that too is a bottleneck.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
