Well, I'm already making wish lists for when I upgrade my rig around X-Mas. I will be buying a whole new system, except for a case, which I have a Antec 900 in my closet. Right now, I'm trying to decide between the E8500 or Q6600 for the CPU. My primary uses for the computer will be gaming first, followed by movies and music. I had planned on Q6600, but I've heard that the E8500 is just as good and can be overclocked easier? Can anyone confirm that? I'm just looking for some input on which would be faster, since they are both pretty much the same price on newegg.
Here's the other parts if that helps at all:
(X2)OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR2 1066
Asus P5N-D 750i SLI
MSI HD Radeon 4850 512MB
Also, can anyone tell me the deal with some people saying 4 X 1GB are faster than 2 x 2GB? Thanks.
