How fast of a processor will I need to avoid any sort of bottleneck with the 4850? I was hoping the e7200 would do, but is that going to have to be overclocked at all? Id like to not have to go up to the e8400 to run the 4850, or go down to a 8800gt to run with the e7200, any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to get a cpu/gpu combo as cheap as possible, without having to go with the 8800gt.

the e7200 wont cuz a bottleneck or anything. i would recommend u oc ur cpu anyway because games just dont rely on ur graphic card.

I wouldnt worry about an e7200 bottlenecking the 4850 at all...the only real gpu that is currently bottlenecked is the 4870x2

E7200 is fine. Dont stress out about bottlenecking, its really blown up and over exagerated, usually people just trying to trick/force themselves into a CPU upgrade.

Youll only need to worry if you are using something that has been vastly suceeded, like a Pentium D 920 or what not.
