Okay so i was looking around on newegg today and found a 3870 for $99!, now here is where the dilemma is, i thought i already had my computer together.
e7200
evga 8800gs
gigabyte ga-g31m-s2l
2gb ocz ddr2 800

Should i downgrade the cpu to an e2180/2200 and buy the 3870? I just wanna use this comp for gaming and i never encode videos or anything like that. I want to oc either of them, the 7200 to about 3.8 and the e2180 to about 3.2, so would it be worth it to pull the trigger on the 3870?

Stick with the better CPU. 3.8 is a lofty goal for a 7200, good luck on that one :)
