hey my buddy wants to build a rig i told him about mine, but he said he does a little multi tasking and was wondering if he should get a dual core. It's mostly for gaming though, also he prob won't oc it for a while so that really doesn't matter to him (I know it's crazy). But yeah if you guys could help me out that would be super. LOL
