Unless you got a bulldozer CPU, I don't believe you. I bet that upgrading just the graphics card would give you 90% of the effect of upgrading everything.

I have a Vishera CPU and it is definitely NOT obsolete. If anything it ages much better that Intels due to better multicore support in modern apps.
