GPU fo 'sho, CPU's dont usually ship with custom coolers, neither they are modified alot, in other hand GPU's ship with custom coolers and factory overclocks and all kinds of shizzle plus heavily modified PCB, which overall gives more bang for the bucks. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional x64

I chose GPU.
Back in 93/94, I had a $2500 GPU and a $1400 CPU card in my Amiga 3000. Back then I was young and had too much disposable income.
I have a problem justifying a $400 video card nowadays. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000
