Performance Increase?

Hi guys, I'm building my new PC finally. I just wondered about how much of a performance increase I should expect.

My old PC specs:

CPU: AMD athlon x2 7750 Black Edition (running @ 3.0ghz)

MoBo: Asus M3A78-em

GPU: nVidia Zotac 9500 GT (1GB of DDR2)

RAM: 4GB (2 x 2gb) of DDR2 PC6400 OCZ Gold

My new PC specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition ( @ 3.3 ghz)

MoBo: Asus M4A88td-v evo usb3

GPU: nVidia EVGA GTX 260 (core 216) (yes I know its kinda old but it was really cheap on craigslist, lol)

RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) of DDR3 PC12800 Corsair vengeance @1600 Mhz

Well I guess that about sums it up then and any opinions on my new system would be nice thanks :D
 
Yea, its going to make a difference. Going from a Duo to a x6 will be quite the push, and the double in RAM will help quite a bit.
 
That change in graphics card would make a big difference for gaming. The 260 kills off a 9500GT, even SLI'd.

Most task can't even utilize multi cores. If the OP is using a 64 bit operating system then there will be a slight performance gain going from 4 gigs to 8 gigs of ram.
 
I'd hope he would be using 64 bit heh.

Also, assuming that because he is knew to building a new rig, and its decent enough, its going to be for gaming. Almost all games utilize multi-cores now. I would assume a lot of big time applications (Photoshop, etc.) would also do the same. That whole "Not using multiple" ended a couple years ago I do believe.
 
some games use 2 cores. and yes you are right photo shop, rendering programs, video creation, etc. all use multi cores. most home users do very little of these task.
 
Yes, I'm using a 64 bit version of windows 7 ultimate. So far it seems to be murdering my old PC for games :D.
