Sweet spot CPU / Gfx card for 3D gaming
So if you are considering a new Conroe based system (as I am) and like to play 3D games, FPSes then where is the sweet spot?
I am looking at spending ca £ 430 split between CPU and Gfx card, that looks like the following options :
E6300 + X1900XT
E6400 + 7900GTX
E6600 + 7900 GT
Which do you think will give the best gaming (BF2, Oblivion etc) performance at the resolution I will play at which will be 1680 x 1050? I am guessing that at this resolution I am likely to be GPU limited.
I suppose I have spent too much time thinking about my specs and have confused myself but I'm leaning towards E6600 / 7900 GT as my favoured option even though its probably not the fastest but has the best upgrade path.
Then you throw a bit of overclocking into the equation......
I'm doing my nut thinking about this, time to get out the credit card!
