Why do you want a new processor i am getting a 2.8Ghz one for the pc i am building at 12 years old, So i dont think its that out of date.

or maybe you're just not getting a good comp hehe. just kidding. Yeah most games will run on a 2.4 but if you want to upgrade go with something a little higher.
