Quick Video Card Question

Hi guys quick question . I'm gonna be ordering this week some parts from newegg , its the best i can afford.

GA-EP35-DS3L
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz

Ill be playing games on a res of 1440x900 with some AA
Will it bottleneck on the E7200 will i be wasting money on a 8800GTS 512mb or should i just buy an 8800GT?

I'm not sold on the new 45nm chips yet. The q6600 is still my favorite if you have the cash. The 8800GTS is a great card, it will run at those resolutions wonderfully. The CPU will not hold you back, the "CPU bottleneck" is soft of an urban myth. More CPU power is always good, but it's not like that CPU will stop your card from passing 60fps. Any modern (2+ core, 2+ GHz) CPU will be fine.

Ah, yes, if you play FSX a lot get a Q6600 rather than E8400.

The difference between 8800GT and 8800GTS G92 512MB is not so much speed (about 14% at best), but the GTS overclocks better and pushes the heat directly out of the case and is usually quieter too. If you can afford Q6600+GTS do it, of course.

Thanks , for now all i can afford is the E7200 (I was planning on a E2220 originally) Maybe in later months i can buy better cooling and learn to overclock
it. I guess i will be buying the 8800 GT at the end of the month if by some miracle the 8800 gts are cheaper i might buy it , I'm not in that much of a hurry. At least in a Socket 775 i can still upgrade (I'm moving from Amd )
I just hope that PSU can power any of the 2 cards.

500w is more than enough. The 8800GTS doesn't use 26 amps, that's ridiculous. 26amps would be 312w, not even the 8800 Ultra draws that. I use 500w PSUs for overclocked Q6600s and 2 8800GT in SLI with 2 HDDs, sound card, network card and an optical, no problem.
