I want to upgrade my Intel e4500 to a new processor,preferably the intel e6700 or the Intel q9300.Should I upgrade processors or add another NX 8800gts 320 mb graphic card to my MSI P6n SLI platinum motherboard where one of the PCI 16x slots runs at 8x speed?

I would go for a newer CPU -

The E6700 is an older C2D, you would be better off with the E8** series or the already mentioned Q9** chip.

SLI doesnt always benefit games, and adding another 8800GTS is probably worse than simply buying a new card (260/275)
