Hey guys i have a P4 prescott 3.0 Ghz 2mb cache and a 7900 gt ko and was thinking about upgrading since i got my tax refund and my question was would it be better for me to upgrade to a core 2 duo e6300 which would cost me around $355 with my trade in and everything or should i get an 8800gts and just upgrade my processor to a prescott 3.4 Ghz and overclock it a bit, note that it would only cost me around 280-300$ for vid card upgrade and 355$ for core 2 duo, so what do u guys think which way should i go, any thoughts are appreciated ty, also if some of you are thinking why does the vid card cost less then cpu its because my 7900gt ko has alot more value then my p4 630 and i would need to trade old mobo and ram for new mobo and ram.

Sry forgot to write that's canadian dollars.

That Prescott will propably become a little bottleneck to the 8800GTS. You could start now with this and add the C2D later on
