Apologies for not helping out in this thread...noticed the US prices and this is kind of annoying. If it is alright with you, I will do it under a budget of £1200 (because after exchange rates and US > UK price differences it should work at about the same...)
quad core fails at gaming ...e8400 please

you just don't see any advantages over a dual core yet. (gaming)
yer...thts wat i mean alpha...sorry ....wat i mean is software isnt advanced enough to fully utilize four cored processors...so in the short term the e8400 is a much better purchase...
long term wise a q6600 will be better....but tbh by the time the software has come out which does utilize the four cored cpu's...the quads will be much cheaper
so yer e8400>q6600 for now

Well considering I've had my current system for almost 4 years, it safe to say I won't be upgrading this one any time soon02fxnmaurer wrote:

Ok, I've decided to go quad core, as this system will be used for other stuff than gaming, like multitasking photoshop, illustrator, and painter. But I can't decide on a case. The 900 looks good, but I want one that has a screwless setup. Thoughts?
