so assuming that a slow CPU will bottleneck a fast GPU, at what point does it become useless to upgrade. for instance, i have the x2 3800+ at 2.0ghz, if i buy a 3870 will i be spending my money in vein? should i save cash and get the 3850 since my slow CPU will bottleneck performance? or will the extra boost the 3870 provides over the 3850 give me what i need?
