at 1920x1200, no you won't.

at 1280x1024, yes you will.

Your benchmarks will increase since they run at 1280x1024, your gaming performance is going to be about the same at 1920x1200 because there isn't a bottleneck at such a high resolution.

Nope.

At higher resolutions, there is a lot more demand on the GPU than at lower resolutions because it simply has to render more pixels. When you get to this point, the graphics card is going to limit your FPS before the CPU will.

Lol expect 3.5 3.75 all depends on how much vCore you'll give it.

Nope....and I can't almost guarantee it. I have 4 machines on a Lan and 1 of them has an OC'd 5400+ in it. None of my friends can tell the difference in any of the current games we play (CoH,AoE3,LoTR2,etc). The bottom line is that it's your money, but I think your rig is good enough for now. Wait until better stuff is made before spending your money. I don't think you're getting much in return.
