CPU for BFG 6800 GT

[Deleted member 76813]

I just ordered a BFG 6800 GT and I was wondering how fast of a CPU (Intel or AMD) I should order so I don't bottleneck my video card. My budget is fairly decent so I was thinking like something along the lines of a 3.2C/E or an A64 3200+, or would the 3.0C/E or A64 3000+ be a better deal? Any ideas?

Any of them should be plenty fast for a GT.

I prefer the 3.0c/3.2c and 3.0E/3.2E because they are stronger then the A64 in quite a few areas i use my computer for. The A64 3000+ or 3200+ will be stronger in gaming though and will net you 64-bit performance in a year or two when Microsoft decides to finally release a final product thats worth using.
