CPU or GPU

GPUs have far better memory bandwidth than CPUs, because they are sold differently. When people buy CPUs, they buy the memory seperately from the CPU. There are 2 chip carriers, one socket, a PC board, and one DIMM connector between the two. In comparison, when people buy GPUs, they buy the memory and the GPU chip together. There are 2 chip carriers and a PC board between the two.So i think it depends on your use, i prefer cpu coz i dont use my pc much.

CPU are Central Process Unit are the brain of the computer, these chip can do everything at slow rate. GPU are Graphics Process Unit are the video/graphics card, these chip can only do graphics and they do it a fast rate. If you are intend to do a lots of 3d graphics, like playing game you must invest in a good video/graphics card AND a good CPU. Since game use a lots of artificial intelligence to control adversaire. For everyting else invest your money on memory, since the cheapest new CPU are faster than you need for home computing (web/email/chat/...).

A higher performance CPU is more important because it will improve the performance of every application that you run. The GPU is only relevant when you are involved in high performance gaming and thus has a lesser effect on the overall system.

It depends what you use your PC for! If you don't play the lastest 3D games, then I guess the CPU is the most important of the two. However, from experience I think a decent amount of RAM is probably more important than either for most things. Nick
