Pretty nice comparation GPU / CPU, it is old article but some ideas are still actuall.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-gpu-upgrade,1928.html
also i agree about onboard devices (sound/network)
OC your E6600 to 3GHZ, easily doable normally (unless you got a completely bricked version, as most of them easily manage 3GHZ on standard cooling), and you’ll get a huge FPS increase with it, no need to upgrade methinks :)
IMHO,
OC the CPU brings more benefit with CPUs in 2.1G – 2.8@ above the benefit of OC cpu is not so significant. The more important is how fast your CPU push data via memory to NB/SB and to PCIx buses aka to your graphic card and how fast the card process those.
“cache” size/speed matters too… so it is not only about raw numbers, more like complete set of HW have to work together….
Check the tom’s hardware, the link i post above, there is quite huge analysis including overclocking such a cpus, it might be usefull to decide if it is better to get new cpu or gpu (or complete pc:)
As well the aproach of the test is two way (from cpu and gpu point of views…) so there werre about 36 testing sets (exlcuding OC variations) ….
cheers
Why would you actually want to raise your fps when it’s “as low as 70” ? You won’t tell the difference anyway.
