got2nesa Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 The Quad-Core (QX series) or the new i7's? Which will be more future-proof and a better investment? The Quad-Core's I hear are not so much for gaming as they are for multi-task video-editing type stuff... The 3.33 E8600 I was told is the best performance-price gaming processor... If the i7's take over, then the QX processor along with its motherboard and memory will need replacing... So why spend so much extra on QX when you can just get the i7 to begin with? Or... save a couple hundred quid for the E8600, and in a few years upgrade to whatever mobo/processor comes out on top What do you think?
