Hey fellas
Was trying to figure out how important CPU and GPU were for gaming.
As far as i know, GPU are most important, so if FPS and performance are max priority, graphic card(s) is what you need to pay most attention to.
But what about CPU?
Lets say i had $X to spend on CPU + GPU. If i was interested in mainly gaming, how would you divide this x between CPU adn GPU? i.e. 0.75X GPU 0.25X CPU or something.
Also, again in terms of hard gaming, how important is CPU? If i was to choose from following:
Prices are PURELY for examples, i have no clue how much they cost really.
i7 980X Overclocked To 4.0GHz Per Core costing £800
i7 960 Overclocked To 3.80GHz Per Core costing £300
i7 875K OC Overclocked To 4.0GHz Per Core costing £400
i7 980X Extreme Edition Processor (3.33GHz,12MB Cache) costing £700
etc
what would you say was the most cost/performance efficient processor?
(ofc im not talking about taking 3.2ghz single core or whatever, but choosing double core 4ghz when i will only be using say 6 ghz is a waste of money).
Any replies kindly appreciated
