The minimum recommendations for upgrading when purchasing for AMD you'll want an FX-Series (Zambezi); however, Intel is highly recommended. Intel performs better in nearly all tests. For Intel, a Core i5 (Ivy Bridge) or higher is best, unless you already have a sandy bridge in which case just stick with it. The closer you can get to 4Ghz (higher is faster) the better. Keep in mind the higher the hertz, the higher the price goes. | The minimum recommendations for upgrading when purchasing for AMD you'll want an FX-Series (Zambezi); however, Intel is highly recommended.
