upgrade proccessor or upgrade ram?

[j12]

ok quick question guys.

should i get a
core 2 duo e6300 with 2gb ram and a 7600gs.

OR

core 2 duo e6600 with 1gb ram and a 7600gs.

i'm just wondering which combination will be better, better processor less ram, or cheaper processor with more ram.

you can always upgrade to more ram later, grab the e6600

the e6600, rams alot cheaper

 

[NosBoost300]

the e6600, rams alot cheaper

e6300 and e6600 use the same ram...

 

[j12]

well i was thinking that the ram is about 200 for 2gb. and the e6300 and the e6600 are 100$ apart. so either i spend the 100 on an extra gig of ram or upgrade the proc. so i'm thinking that i should get the 6600 with 1gb ram.

ya... you can always buy ram later, as i've already stated.. thats what i did, bought the 1 gig instead of 2 so i could have an e6600

Can't you just wait and get both?
I would get the small items first, video card and good ram, you can use the current proc until you get money for the good one.

i only need the videocard, ram, proc, and mobo. hey can you guys help me find a good setup for 500$.

proc-it must be core 2 duo e6600
ram- nothing less than 1gb
videocard-7600gs or higher
mobo-anything that isnt $hit and can support core 2 duo, i dont need sli.

can someone find those 4 things for 500$ or less. w/o shipping and tax.
