once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

...the XP zune theme.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Win! Go with this configuration . If you want you can get a quadcore, but that's all up to you and what you are going to do with that rig.

Exactly. And you can spend four years watching unspectacular upgrades hit the shelves that promise big shit but only deliver a slight boost over the last generation's hardware.

Save yourself a headache and put together a new rig every 2-3 years, if it's within your budget.

But Kyle has a point. Thanksgiving weekend can get you great deals...but only if you can (this year) ignore the 'big next stuff' on the radar.

Speaking of which, throw some money at an uninterruptible power supply. I'm not sure insurance would appreciate a second 'failure' (in their eyes), and it'll throw cleaner power at your rig, lessening the strain on your PSU.
