Well, for the price if you're not going to OC the 9600 is. It's $70 less than Q6600 and only 20% less powerful (UnOCed).

I just compared all processors from $100-$180 on newegg and 9600 beat all except other phenoms costing $165 - $170, Phenom 9750, 9850 and 9950, 9850 rivals q6600 and 9950 actually outperforms q6600 by about 10% unOCed.

AMD 9950 is AMD's top of the line, black box edition
Q6600 is Intel's entry level quad

AMD 9950 comes in 140W and 125W which means more heat than a Q6600 which uses 95W

my Q6600 is at almost 1.5vcore right now, i can't imagine how hot a phenom would be at that voltage...

I don't intent to overclock
(Because I don't know how or understand what it does to improve your computer)

Hey Trucido, since you live in Australia (like meeeeeeeeeeee), you may want to consider running the attached file in the archive. It squeezes what you may think was impossible into a tight budget. I guess you'll get away with 3.16GHz C2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 750GB SATA2 and a GeForce 9600 for $1003AUD. See the attachment to style your budget.

Thanks for that program, its quite interesting Very Happy

And when it comes to assembling your computer, Is it complex or easy to do?

Pretty easy, just a few screws and pushing some stuff into slots. Check out http://computershopper.com/oldforums/showthread.php?t=1855 for a detailed walkthrough.
