Which Core 2 Duo model completes this system?

[Amanda85]

Which Core 2 Duo model would be considered balanced along with X1800GTO 256MBDDR3 & 2x1GB DDR2 PC6400 5-5-5-12?
I don't OC & I don't want a bottleneck.

Any of them

they will all bottleneck that card from what I know

so get the E6300 and upgrade to a DX10 card later, then it should be more balanced

New games will be bottlenecked by his GFX card and not his CPU(provided his gfx settings are high)

Any of the Core 2 Duo cpus should be fine. Dont think any of the single GPUs out there is powerful enough to be bottlenecked by the core 2 duos. Most games are bottlenecked on the GPU anyways.
