Computer upgrade advice needed.
My current system:
XFX 680i LT SLI motherboard. 1333 mhz fsb.
Intel E6550 core 2 duo 2.33 ghz.
Nvidia GeForce 9400GT vid card with 1 gig mem.
2x 1tb hard drives.
4 gigs DDR2-SDRAM PC2-6400 ram.
32 bit Windows XP SP3.
I have narrowed my search down to:
1. PNY VCGGTX4601XPB-OC GeForce GTX 460 XLR8 OverClocked Video Card - 1GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0, Dual-DVI, HDMI, SLI-Ready, DirectX 11 $199.99
or
2. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Processor AT80569PJ073N - 2.83GHz, 12MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Yorkfield, Quad-Core, Socket 775, OEM $229.99
Not enough money to buy both.:'(
Which one by itself would give the most bang for the buck?
Thank you,
