Hi. So I bought Dragon Age: Inquisition without checking the minimum system requirements, and since I got it from Green Man Gaming I can't get a refund. In any case, I want to play the game enough to upgrade my PC to do it. The main issue is my CPU: I have a dual core and I simply need a quad core. Below I've listed my computer as it stands:
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor
10 GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
MSI 770-C45 Motherboard
I made another thread [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1439215"]a few weeks ago[/URL] where the consensus was that I should upgrade the motherboard too. So now I'm looking to spend €200 in total to upgrade my CPU and motherboard in a way that'll hopefully do me for a few years.
Please help.
I live in Ireland, for shipping purposes.
Maybe something like this:

Heatsink (pretty much required since APU heatsinks are trash):

if you could just stretch 40-60 euros more, haswell i5s are pretty good prices right now and motherboard chipsets like h81 are super cheap and work well enough for gaming, you could totally get an i5 4690 & h81 motherboard from asus for like 240-260 euros (thats converting amazon prices from gbp to eur, so sorry if it's totally off)
