I'm looking to upgrade EITHER my processor or my video card. I currently use my computer for games like Civ 5 and Everquest 2. I am thinking of either getting a GTX460 1gb or a 5850. Or I am thinking I might want to upgrade my processor. I am running my E6400 at 3.2 Ghz and have been for almost 3 years with my 1950 and it is getting my by, but starting to see the slowdowns (i also need to reformat and clean everything up since this build has been going for that long as well). I don't know what would be a better upgrade? I know my board can use the 1333 mhz processors with a BIOS upgrade or I can just throw in a quad core without a bios upgrade ( I would overclock it as well). If you could ONLY GET EITHER the processor OR the video card (under $200), what would you go for?
Lastly, would it just be better to go with a 5770 and maybe a cheaper processor and get by for another year or so?
Thanks for the suggestions.
