Im looking to upgrade, i am a gamer, but not hardcore, plan on playing UT3, WoW, Source Games, and Starcraft 2. Now im wondering what is better more CPU and Less GPU, or More GPU and less CPU
You had another thread where we addressed all this, but..
A $100 E2200 OCed to 3Ghz and a $250 Geforce 8800 GT will do a good bit better for gaming than a $220 E8400 OCed to 4Ghz and a $150 Radeon HD 3850.
Either of the above setups will do far better than a $275 Q6600 OCed to 3.6Ghz and a $100 Geforce 8600GTS.
GPU power is much more important than CPU power for gaming with pretty much all titles, but getting an underpowered CPU (a single core or a dual core under 1.8-2.0Ghz, say) can cause problems as well. That's why people running P4s or older Athlon 64s are told they should probably update.
