worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 11, 2008 #13 The Q6600 is made very affordable now. I got mine for £160, $280 on Newegg I think. The Phenoms are even cheaper.

D-Lew Fully Optimized Messages 2,793 Jan 11, 2008 #15 It really depends on his budget here guys. If it were me, I'd just get a C2D and put another $100 toward a video card. I know the quads are nice but even my cheapo 4600 can run today's games fine.
