The questions stands ... get a q8300 from intel to upgrade from a e5200(3.34ghz - used for mostly gaming, will do future video editing and so on ... ) OR to upgrade a PSU, from a 550W to a 850W (Silverstone Strider Plus) for future SLI with dual GTX460's ... just got the GTX460 but I cant decide, perhaps go for a better CPU in case of a bottleneck or for a PSU that will last me a long time. Please do help out on this ... would like to order as soon as possible. Thanks in advance :)

The new processors will realy boost youre graphics score

I've got a EVGA 780i FTW, I only have enough for either the PSU or the CPU listed in my first post. Currently I am not in the finances to go for a new mobo, ram, CPU.
