I currently have:
Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 3.3 GHZ
4GB DDR2 RAM
GTX 260 (original, not core 216)
I play games and run multiple applications in the background.
Normally with games running my CPU usage in the mid 70% to mid 90% percentile (not sure if I used that word correctly). When I play RIFT for example, it usually hits the mid 90. The applications I run in the background are usually Java based (usually a resource hog), maybe a web browser with a few tabs, and AV/other utilities.
Which CPU would YOU recommend for me? If you do something like this which CPU do you have?
