i heard that it is better to have a higher speed dual core than a lower speed quad core when it comes to gaming. i might upgrade graphics though! thanks for your reply :)

no, i wouldnt say so, especially if you want it to be futureproof, most games dont use 4 cores yet but they certainly will in the near future
