Should I spend more money on a CPU or a GPU?

Not both. Trust me, I used 870A-UD3 with X2-555 unlocked to X4-B55 overclocked to 4GHz. Its still not enough (a bit) for optimizing Battlefield 3.

Phenom is out of date, you should get the second generation of FX series. Vishera is one of the second generation. You would need at least FX-6XXX or go directly to 8 cores.

First rule of building pc is that cpu should not be cheaper than motherboard. I made a mistake because I bought the 870A-UD3 as replacement for failure asrock 870 motherboard (not stable in detecting HDD). So I broke the rule myself because I am in a pinch by limited to 1 time replacement (with different brand).

Although I made the $80 X2 into $150 X4 which passed the $125 motherboard price tag (Feb 2011 ). But you should get what I mean to say.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
