E7400 + great video card or Q6600 with a less great one?

I'm trying to stick to a budget here, and I'm trying to decide whether to get a Q6600 and 4830 setup, or something like a e7400 and a 4870? If you have any suggestions on how to balance it out a bit I'm all ears. Thanks

Btw if you post links to shoppiing websites-I'm in UK.

e7400 and 4870 will give you better performance in games.Mr_NoName111

Agreed, it will give you much better performance... Plus you can just overclock that e7400

wich is better for games?

is there anything that will limit the capacity of the computer?

the second one since the both have the same gpu and q6600>>>>e7400imprezawrx500

No, the q6600 is with a 4830, the e7400 is with a 4870...

Go with the Q6600 and average card because you'll end up upgrading the card more than the CPU and graphics cards fall quicker in price.
