New processor.

Ok so when I bought this desktop I didn't realize that he shit me. Gave me a athlon dual core 1.6 gz instead of a amd 5600+

I get 50 fps in a 5v5. My amd athlon 3.0 ghz quad core is coming in tomorrow. My question is, How big of a difference will it be?
Mind you that i'm installing an old 8800 gt.

This was a low budget build, I know it's bad.

Prob make you go up by 10 frames max.

Only 10? Even with the 8800 gt in?

What game are you running? Cause that's a really old card and its gonna bottle neck your cpu.

I never thought I would say this about someone I do not even know, but Sector A7 is correct. Your old card is going to bottleneck your CPU far too much, I would say invest in a GTX 5xx+ or a Radeon HD 49xx+ (preferably 5xxx+).

I was getting 40 fps in 8v8s. Now I spike from 60-130 fps. Now if I go into zombie mode , I get around 50-80 when before I would get 20.

Id say gtx 660 ti ir amd 7***

Older game, I don't think it will matter that much. You have an 8800, you should be able to run that, and games that require that much power, quite well. Now, If you try other games like Farcry 3 or Battlefield 3, you will be having some trouble. But yeah, you shouldn't have any issues with bottlenecks with Crossfire.

That's exactly what I was saying but everyone will have there own opinions. This new cpu may help in cf but for css I still get around 40-50 fps.

it isnt worthy to invest on a old pc and even for a shitty game
only IF your pc is dying

What's done is done. Moving along. Thanks for your late advice.

IT wasnt really the best advice anyways.

And Im not familiar with CF, but for the most part, 50 FPS is completely playable. Down to 30 in many games, though it doesnt look great.

Lol, zis is funny. I would ask then buy not be like I just bought me a GFX card for a lot of money? Does it suck?

That's very true.
I think people should refrain from posting in this thread since the OP's resolved his question.
@Hero @Dave84311 Can we close this and move along?

New processor.
