Hi guys,
im building a rig mainly for gaming, ive opted for a beast of a gpu as i like my settings as maxed out as possible so going for the saphire vapor-x 5870 the 2gb version. how much of a difference is the cpu going to make on the game?
at the moment ive got my eyes on an i7 930 however some friends are telling me i wont notice any in game difference at all if i opted for an i5 or even an amd phenom2 x4 or x6?
any help as always is appreciated i would like to save the money but it all depends on how much of a hit on frame rate etc ill loose from a cheaper chip.
Thanks again,
