Im buying my last bits soon, and I want to make sure im not any mistakes. Ive got my motherboard now, so theres no going back on that now,

-Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3GHZ
-BFG Nvidia 8800GTX
-4GB Geil PC6400
-1x SATA Segate 500GB

Let me know if you think of any changes
 
get quad core
dosnt make sense to get a dual core for that much money
when the quad will run much faster
 
I hear there not that good at the moment. Is that true? And will games access all cores?
 
No, I don't believe the games will take advantage of all the cores. They weren't written to use them just yet. But figure this. If games are starting to use dual core, you already got it in quad core. Two core will be left idling do whatever background services while the other two cores will be doing all the gaming and stuff like that. Still, it's super, uber efficient. That is they key word: efficient. In turn, it makes it fast.
 
games will get a performance gain not major
but games coming out like crysis and gears of war witch were written for multi core cpus will have very large performance gains
 
The Q6600 is an amazing processor. Get the g0 step, and your flying :)
You can reach 3.2ghz easy, with no real temp changes.
I'm going to try and push mine more though, but 3.2ghz is a nice figure to reach.
