With the only weakness being the graphics card, it makes sense to go with the stronger Core 2 Duo E4400 processor as the GeForce 7900 GS can easily be upgraded in the future without having to replace any other components. This seems to be the safest bet really and in the meantime you can still enjoy excellent performance out of the 7900 GS in the majority of today’s games. Furthermore, with the aid of some overclocking we were able to achieve between a 20% and 60% performance gain in the four games that were tested.Check it out at Legion Hardware.
