My fps is never below 60fps for long. Buying an extreme or quad core chip is a waste of money when you can get similar performance out of a chip that retails for ~$150.

I have an E6600 cpu, o/c'd, + a 7900GTX video card and my 7900GTX is starving for cpu time. Ideally for the 7900GTX I should have gotten one step up, at minimum, but at the time the price diff. was vast. For a 8800 anything less than an extreme cpu is retarded.
