Upgrade CPU or video card?

[Exmortius]

i5 are still solid for gaming. last i heard the i7s are not a huge bump in performance. the graphics card on the other hand would probably handle a huge chunk of the load. most games don't optimize more than 4 cores. which is why my bulldozer at 8 cores is pretty much not as efficient. i've yet to see the thing bog down since i've had it. things damn stable and solid it would take one hell of a job to slow the cpu down. my vid card is a mid range ati though and it's possible it'll choke if i crank up beta too nice. i'll probably get a really beefy nvidia after beta goes live. but i wanna see how things go. but ya definitely would recommend the vid card over cpu atm.
