    I have a Note 2 as well but in reality the processor is about as fast as a Pentium 3 even with its extra 3 cores. All of the apps and OS just were made from the ground up to be light on processing much more than most Windows programs.

    I built my own computer last summer for like $1000 dude, it handles everything. i7, 8 gigs of ram, 600W psu, 660ti graphics card, 1 tb hdd (gonna get an ssd to put my OS on). Just get a hyper 212 evo heatsink for like $30 for the cpu cooling, and you're set. it's honestly all plug and play. might want to get a better psu though, just in case you want to SLI or overclock, or both :)
