Specs are included below. As it stands now I am having a rough time running the game, mainly due to the processor. I am considering buying or having built a new rig in the spring with my tax refund check. But for the meantime I am considering upgrading my processor. Question is: without replacing the motherboard as well, what is the best processor I can buy that is compatible? And do you guys think it would be worth it? Ideally I am hoping there is a processor out there that will work with my motherboard that will push into the 2.5 GHz range. Any advice, tips, knowledge would be awesome! My specs.
