Low setting wouldn't be playable surely? You can't see the enemy properly. I am working on the assumption that you need at least medium to enjoy the game if you are not a graphics whore. If I can only afford to upgrade one or the other, would it be better to go for CPU or new GPU for the greatest gain?

I am a Arma fan, but on a tight budget, wonder if any vets can help. I am using a C2D oc to 3.2ghz and 8800GT 512mb. Would Arma 2 be playable on med settings at 1028x768 i.e. lowest resolution? If I need to upgrade, should I go for a E8400 which can oc to 4.4Ghz or a Q6700 which can oc to 3.6Ghz? Is this game more CPU or GPU demanding? Would the 8800GT be sufficent? If not, why r most ppl recommending HD 4890 over the 4870 when the former is suppose to be only 15% faster than the latter? Sorry, loads of nooby questions. Hope someone can help as I can't really afford any major upgrades.
