Default New Build Question
My question is do I need a better CPU or GPU? My options are:

E7200
EVGA 8800GT 512MB


OR


E2180
EVGA 8800GTS 512mb (G92)



This will be used with a EVGA 680i SE SLI Motherboard.

What do you all think?

I say go with the first option, nVidia drivers noticeable depend on CPU horse power not to mention that E7200 is the best buy for an Intel processor at the moment, imo.
