How Much Should You Spend on your CPU/GPU Combo? — Testing Part Bundles vs Separate Components
When testing Graphics Cards, we just put them all on the BEST CPU, right? Then when testing CPUs, we use the BEST GPU, right? That's fair for theory testing, but no one puts $100 GPUs on $500 CPUs, now do they? Today we'll dive into this!

PS. It will be interesting to see all the comments from people who say "but, but, the coolers are different!" Bonus gold star if you see this comment before the 57 comments referencing it... :)
Note: The coolers don't matter, the CPUs are both at 5.0GHz and neither are thermal throttled, so while temps vary a bit, that doesn't affect the performance testing here. To be 100% clear, all these tests were done on the same PC, using the same motherboard, RAM, case, etc. I did swap the parts rather than use one of my open air test benches.
