Hi,
I'm planning on upgrading my CPU/MB/RAM to one of these builds:
or
Now obviously this is a budget upgrade, and I'm wondering how much my GPU, an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, will bottleneck either of these CPUs. I'm use my computer mainly for gaming, but also for a little bit of multimedia, 2D/3D graphics, and video editing. I might upgrade my graphics card next year but I'm not sure if I will be able to. (economical reasons, $$$$$money$$$$$)
EDIT: I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum, sorry
