This week VG-Express highly recommends the "Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4Ghz", this is a very powerful CPU and is overclockable to 4.0Ghz, it's future proof and will play all the la-*test*-('") games. So if your looking for a new gaming PC get the Q6600 for a very fast and future proof PC, and at the moment it only costs £179.99, so we highly recommend this

Can I post here?
Errm...
So it's very true what you say. Maybe in the future ahead there will a couple of games which can make use of the quad-core. We decided to buy a QX6850 (core 2 duo) with an Asus Maximus Formula MB, a GF8800 GTX 768 MB DDR3, and 2 GB of DDR2 Corsair memo. It looks pretty stylish and it is carefully picked with the best scores on cost/performance indexes. You can buy QX6850 for 70000 HUF, while the others that cost 200000HUF are only sometimes better. Corsair memo is the highest quality available so it will last long and is very nicely, and OPTIMALLY overclockable. (I don't like overclocking, lowers lifetime)

We did this, because we will buy a penryn later, when enough games support 4 cores, 2 GB because CPU-s can't make many things out of 4 GB today and we got a SupremeFX SC for the MB, and we (my father and I have very big discussions) decided to buy a 7.1 speaker set.

IF ANYONE THINKS THIS IS BRAGGING, THEN SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO. AND THERE ARE BETTER COMPS THAN THIS SO DON'T TELL ME "WOOT, ONLY THAT, I HAVE XYZ HAXXOR COMP"

Thanks

Well, if you are a task manager and love to run mutiple tasks then the Quad Core is far superior, but when it comes to games your better of with a fast Dual Core. The reason for this is simply the fact that games dont support Quad Core yet, but in a years time the Quad Core will once again be far superior as games are now getting made Quad Core compatible. An update for Crysis was just realeased to support Quad Core. So I'm gonna say that if your a gamer then go far a faster Dual Core, and then when games to go Quad Core you can upgrade to the Q6600
