My name is Rohan and I recently joined this forum site. I'm somewhat experienced in the computer area. But, I always have a lot of questions to ask! I just recently purchased an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz processor. This is the retail version. I spent $190.00 on it and bought it from Newegg.com. I am pleased with my purchase after reading 1000's of reviews and watching hundreds of video reviews. I'm very careful with my purchases and especially since the recession is going on and money is tight for my family. I still need to purchase a motherboard and some RAM. I do plan on over clocking my cpu, but not the motherboard and RAM. Can anyone please give me any suggestions on affordable yet effective merchandise? I do a lot of gaming and movie watching. I don't want to spend too much more but, I am open to all suggestions. Thank you!
