Yeah it is a pain trying to keep up with new computers, I had to buy an entire new I7 build, but it should be worth it with 6 cores, 12 threads and hyperthreading. The days of horrible frame rates during convoy attacks should be over. |
SH3 isn't written to take advantage of multithreading though, one core or 8 cores the game won't care and run the same speed. Assume though that you're using 7 or Vista? which the OS is built to take advantage of multiple cores. The SSD drive should be massive in the increase, when my desktop was working (fried motherboard, haven't been able to replace yet) and put SH on a 10k drive (WD Raptor) there was a noticeable increase in game performance, less slow down and freezes. Later on when I added a new video card the game ran without any glitches (though never tried running it with SHC at 8000x speed), you should have a pretty pimp rig once you get all the parts installed.
If you're using the same mobo, would be interesting to put on parts one by one and test the increase starting with the SSD. See what kind of boost each one gives until you start getting diminishing returns.
