GPU = Graphics Processing Unit = Graphics Card (i.e. Nvidia) or whatever runs your graphics

Which one would you say is the best CPU?
Anyways, the graphics card is one of the only things that didn't get updated, one of the only things left over from my old computer. It's an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX.

well intel now has 4th Gen of the 3 main types (in order of lowest to highest performance: i3, i5, i7)
i5 is like...minimum for anything of the media caliber. i7 is gamers dream.
It works like this: forget the existence of i3 cause your a gamer. that leaves i5 and i7. on a budget? i5. Going all out? i7. that's how intel works
...and aye Nvidia has phased that GPU outta the list. it's in the 600-700 series.
And just be wary cause it doesn't really say if its 3rd or 4th gen. Most would say there isn't that big a difference, but I say otherwise (though there might be just OS difference between win7 and 8 i'm noticing...)
I don't know if this still applies but normally an intel CPU has a 4 digit number with it. the first number is the gen. (i.e. i5-3_ _ _ vs i5-4 _ _ _)

Well, it gets the job done, so I can't complain. It's A LOT better than the computer I was using when my motherboard failed. :p
The computer ran on Windows XP, am MS - 7284 VER: 1.1 motherboard, and Dial-up internet capabilities. I have no idea what CPU it has, but It's most likely something from early 2000. It's a "Gateway" pre-built computer.

I have a question to test your knowledge on OLD tech.
Do you know what dial-up is? :p
@Wonder
The only reason I know about computers is because my did taught me, mainly how to repair them.

People look into computers to know which one to buy. I have a sinple method. If it's a computer, it's now my computer. Doesn't work? Repeat steps 1 and 2.
