CPU or GPU?

Hello everyone, since I have my birthday in a few days I came up with a question, what should I get for a better gaming experience based on my current system's hardware, a CPU or a graphics card (GPU)? Also it would be great if you could recommend which cpu or gpu would be the best comparing the price with the quality.

PC

Intel core 2 E8400 3.00GHz

ASUS ati radeon HD 4850 512MB

4GB of RAM

Windows Vista: Ultimate

if you can... overclock that cpu a bit, and buy a second 4850 for crossfire

should be sweet and won't cost too much

My motherboard does not support crossfire (only 1 slot) now... I could get a 4850x2 but it's not worth it since i already have a 4850.

I would say as of right now your setup is perfect for gaming. I would wait until you really need to upgrade.

Neither, your system is more than good enough. Get some games instead.
