I'm currently using a G530 cpu as it is the best bang-for-buck Sandy Bridge processor. However, it seems the integrated graphics aren't quite enough for SSBM. What is the better choice, upgrading the cpu (to an i3-2120 or i5-2500k) or getting a discrete gpu (xfx dual-fan 6870)?
In other words, if I use a 6870, will there be a major cpu bottleneck or will it work fine?
I want to play Super Smash Bros Melee without any frame drops in at least 480p.
Edit: Forgot to say that I'm currently getting about 60-80%.
