CPU... Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3?

Question

I've been debating on what I want to upgrade my computer with within the next few months for the release of GuildWars 2 and Diablo 3.

It seems to me that the Radeon 7850 has been the best choice for my price range and now I turn to my Processor..

I currently have a Intel Quad core Q8200 @ 2.33Ghz. Will this quad core be able to keep the video card on it's feet or will there be a serious technical problem of bottlenecking?

I remind you that these guys are not exactly extreme graphic powerhouses but they are the new age of games and I would like to run them extremely smooth to experience the game without technical problems.

It should be fine, the only problem is you most likely won't utilize all the cores and that is what is preventing it from well, processing as much. It will run perfectly smooth with how you have it, but in the long run I would up the processor. If you want though, you can definitely wait haha

I'm pretty sure you would be able run those games with the HD7850 but I'm not sure at what setting. I would think it would definitely run it on medium though. If you were going all out then perhaps something from the HD7900s may be more suitable.
