All, I am considering doing the Tom's Dec $625 build with a power supply change, and possibly a graphics card change.

I am curious is an e7300 core 2 would be enough to push a 260 or if I would be CPU bottlenecked. Can anyone offer their opinion or point to information where I can find a proper matching of CPU to GPU? I'd hate to spend $75 more for a 260 over a 4850 for no gains.

What game(s) and what resolution? Some are more CPU intensive than others and resolution has an effect.

Right now 1280x1024 on Fallout 3 would be top priority, but also BioShock, Crysis, and Call of Duty 4, all at 1280 x 1024.
