I currently have a:
P4 478 Prescott @ 3.2Ghz
1 Gig DDR 400
6600GT
I am about to upgrade to 2 gig of ram and a card in the range of the x1800xt or 7800gtx and was told that the CPU would be the bottleneck of the system. If I were to upgrade the CPU I'd definately be going AMD but just wondered whether I need to upgrade the CPU and which would be a good AMD CPU to go for. I don't want to spend too much on the CPU, not more than £150 really around $300 (dont forget though that stuff that costs $200 in the US probably costs closer to $300 in the UK).
