CPU and Graphics Combo

[ackrite26]

Okay,

Situation - I have a new C2D E8400 and E6750 but need to sell one to fund a new graphics card.
What I cant decide on is which one. I could sell the E6750 for £90 and the E8400 for about £140. The E8400 would almost pay for an 8800GTS G92. or do I stick with the E8400 and save some money along with the money from the E6750 for a new GPU.

Basically is the E8400 worth roughly £50 more than a E6750?

And anyone know how much the E8400 will cost when there is normal stock levels?

I would sell the E8400. As you say it will pay for the better graphics card which will aid games far more than an extra bit of CPU grunt.

The E6750 should easily go to 3.2GHz which is more than enough for games.

Sell the E8400 and get a better graphics card.
