Then I recommend quad.
But then I also recommend you to spend like 800$ instead.
And might take a Q9550 instead of the old Q6600.
But if your going to overclock much take the Q6600,
I would also recommend 4870, because 4850 wont hold so long to play newer games later on.
Tho 4870 wont either but a bit longer atleast. |

8800GT is expensive, get a 4850.
If your going to have the computer for 2 years you will need to buy a new GPU in around 1 year.
Get an Q6600, an get a good CPU cooler and overclock it. |

Please say what your going to do with the computer.
If your going to play alot games I would totaly recommend a dualcore. |
A quad core will do perfectly fine for gaming and other stuff
Imma go to bed
Ill recheck this topic in about 20 hours (when i get back from school >_>) |
80% of the people that buy quads buy it just cuz it is quad, they don't even
use all 4 cores, just 2 of them.
Thats why you should buy a faster and cheaper DUALCORE.
Like E8400/E8500/E8600.
IF you start rendering/using vmware to emulate more desktops quadcore would be handy.
Some games can use quad tho the dualcore at that price would be better once again. |
The E8400, arent they as expensive as the q6600?

Yes almost, but the E8400 is alot faster.
You could for example watch this test:
http://www.matbe.com/articles/lire/1121/comparatif-de-100-processeurs/page24.php
Theres 100 different CPUS there, and E8600 gets almost best.
But the other CPU is at around 1200$.
You gain alot with a faster dualcore then a lower quad.
And also you can overclock E8400 to around 4.0-4.5gHz stable (depends on motherboard). |
