yes it will, but if you overlock a little maybe wont bottlneck, but anycase demands on game and on settings, G860 is good cpu and can run modern games on high settings,espacially for your resolution

you mean overlock? this multipler is locked and the bus frequanci increasing is only availible. The overclock will not do much but it is still best way to be more cooperated with HD 7850 :))) other way i'd advise him getting at least i5 cpu for that GPU :))

How much better will this be than my the processor on my old PC? It was a crappy Dell Optiplex 754 with integrated graphics and a Core 2 Duo 6400 (Shudder) Although Core 2 Duos are supposed to be not much worse than these? I'm tired of waiting as it freezes and can't even play Minecraft decently. Can't wait for my new PC :)
