Hey, sorry for the little torrent of threads :/ but circumstances have changed
the budget's increased, as I can use Win7 from my old PC and don't have to re-buy it. I know now that GPU should be priority, but this little bit of extra money seems to allow me a wildly better CPU but a (not that wildly) better graphics card. Which combo would you choose?
Radeon HD 7850 with AMD FX 8150
OR
Radeon 7950 with AMD FX 4100
They both come to (about) the same price. Thank youuuuuu !
I don't know much about 'bottlenecking' but I don't know if skimping on the CPU will bottleneck me. I just don't want to live in fear of bottlenecks. I don't want to open my front door one day and get bottlenecked by a big hairy bottle
