DirtyPolo Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Hey, it all depends really on what your budget is and what you want to use your PC for afterwards. Dalo is the guy you need to look at this for you :P He helped me an awful lot on my new build, I'm not sure if it will help but heres my thread which he helped me with a lot trying to decide between componants and stuff.

Dalo Harkin Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Chris, I would get the Q6600 as they are more powerful and futureproof over a dual core. Have a look at polo's thread but be aware that SOME MOBO's hate Q6600 chips as they cannot handle the voltage drops of the chip - One that does is in my sig - The ASUS P5K Premium :) If you need any help about other components or the build then shout up - and I use scan for most of my components, them and Microdirect.
