Um yeah it will be good, probably could get a little bit better processor. Not by much though. With 4GB's of ram you should be pretty good.

Nvidia Geforce graphics card 8400

This is your problem, not the processor at all. The 8400 is a very low end graphics card not meant for gaming at all. If you want to improve the gaming performance, this is where you need to upgrade.

yea...vampist is just plain wrong

that cpu will run most games just fine without lag because the majority of your gaming experience is based on your gpu. I suggest you upgrade to a 9600 at least for gaming.

Hey. Hey. Hey. You can never go wrong with a faster CPU.

Thanks for the input, i've decided to upgrade to a nvidia geforce 9800

True, but for games, the graphics card is the most important piece.

I do not suggest you buy the 9800... It's just a Hybrid of the 8800 and has 15% Less power then the 8800. If your looking for power and dont care about saving energy, Buy the 8800 instead of the 9800.

 

[Holysky]

thats a lie. They are the same card except the 9800 will run more efficient and overclock better. It will have more performance not less.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Holysky is correct. The 9800 is essentially a rebadged 8800. They have nearly identical specs and performances.
