Upgrade question. I have a system I am building from free components. I have 8 GB ddr3 (4 x 1600, 4 x 1033). I have an e6750 and a q8400. And a Radeon 4850. I would like to squeak out a little more time before upgrading the MB and processor.

1. Should I use the e6750 or the q8400.
2. Will it be worth it to throw down the cash for a graphics card upgrade now and then only upgrade the MB and CPU later? I can spend ~$100 - $150
3. If so what is the best value at that price point?

This system is primarily for gaming.

Thanks in advance
