Intel is abt right. If you're not gaming, why bother with a great GPU. A good CPU is more impt.
But IF you're gaming, then BOTH are equally important. I'd pay top bux for both GPU and CPU.
No point getting a Q9650 then pair it with a 8400GS... or an 9800GX2 on an E4400. LOL.
Balancing your config is the key.
