$1000 Intel Build
So I'm looking to build another gaming PC this time for family use with a $1000 budget overall including monitor, speakers, and operating system. Should be good on mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking I want to try out a quad core cpu if the price is reasonable enough as I have a dual core at the moment and wondering what the difference is between the two. So any suggestions appreciated

Intel Core i5-750 $199.99
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R $139.99 Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 $79.99 Asus Radeon HD 5770 $159.99 Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB $74.99 Samsung SH-S223B $28.99 Asus Xonar DX $89.99 Antec Sonata III w/500W PSU $109.99 Total: $883.92 from http://techreport.com/articles.x/17787/4 add a monitor and you're good to go. and a dual -> quad is a great investment. not so noticeable doing everyday stuff but when you run GTA IV or encode, it's amazing. no lag when running a VM, encoding a DVD, AV scanning, and browsing the web while IMing and listening to music. my frames doubled when moving to a 3ghz q6600 from a 3ghz e2160

So will you be using this pc for hardcore gaming or anything? Or is it just for basic/everyday tasks?

It will be for family/gaming use. Brother will use it the most as he's been playing games on my pc. But I'm moving that upstairs so I figured I would build one for $1000 for downstairs use.
