But that being said, I don't think its a big enough difference jumping from a 3.2GHz e6750 to justify nearly $200. You would get a better boost from a 4870/GTX260 and another 2GB of ram (try and get a copy of Vista x64 too!).

What's with the arbitrary figures? At least you could have given percentages to avoid making it look liked you pulled them out of thin air.

Although I do agree, an E8400 would probably yield slightly better performance in games than a Q6600 (overall), given it's improved 45nm process and ability to clock higher. This, of course, only applies to games that aren't multi threaded (well). But I haven't seen very many games that effectively utilize all 4 cores ATM. That may change over time, however.

If I were you, I'd pick up an HD4850 or HD4870 and maybe a new PSU (like the Corsair 750TX mentioned earlier) or a new 2 x 2 RAM kit.

Ok Guys Im going to pick up my check today and its going to be like $150. So Ill have like $330. Anyways. Here are the choices you guys are saying.

e8400
e8600
q6600
9800GTX+
9800GX2
GTX260
2 gigs more of G.Skill ram
Better PSU

Thats the thing. If I get a better video card. Will my 500W PSU handle it? It handles my 8800GT and everything else very well.

But which of these should I get. And maybe post a link to a good deal in my $300 price range.
