The I3 is a Dual Core, Quad Thread Processor. While not the Fastest in the bunch... it would do pretty well with 8 gigs of Ram and would make an excellent choice. It's dangerous to overclock an I3... but I don't do that stuff anyway. It would handily out perform any single core you may have now. And it wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg either.

Obviously the more you buy... the better....but it's still obsolete in 2 weeks anyway.
