My Mobo&cpu combo:
DP35DP Mobo By Intel
Q6600
Had a 8800 Gts 640mb vga and at moment of purchase
Memory and psu are irrelevant as its easily comparable to today(more/solid=better).
What Mobo/Cpu would be equal to these, in our days? I know its obvious cause today all is faster, but if we imagine today is 2007, what parts would be identical in terms of evolution ratio of say q6600 to future cpus of that time in 2007?
Shorter version: i want to buy a new pc that will be the same purchase(future-proof/performance ratio) as it did back in 2007?
Hope i didn't mess with your brain guys! Lol

For a Q6600 equivalent comparison, any other questions?
Do you overclock for example?

Nope never overcloked.
So basically P35/q6600 is equivalent to ivy bridge? I have no ivy bridge where i live lol, if im getting an i7 and h87/h97 its actually twice as good?
What board would resemble the Dp35 in terms of reliability and stability? I had it for all this time.

Haswell/Broadwell are only ~5-15% better than Ivy Bridge, a difference you won't notice. In gaming the difference is even smaller. Same goes for an Intel i7 - even in highly-threaded games (only 4-5 games atm in existence) the difference is less than 10%, normally there's no difference at all.
If Ivy Bridge isn't available, that's the benefit you'll get but, in no way, is it 2x better than Ivy Bridge and no technology will for a while.

Not equivalent as the 1155 Ivy Bridge, is a much higher performer out of the box than the 775 Core 2 Quads, but when you compare the standing of the day as to where the Q6600 fell in comparison to the QX intel series, the Ivy falls in a comfortable area, as it is not the fastest out there and neither was the Q6600.
The motherboard is just fine, unless you intend to overclock approaching 5ghz, but you say you don't overclock so it will be what you need.
I was running a Q9550 myself so I do at least think I understand where you're coming from?

Yeah you're right. Im also doing some Photoshop/Video/Audio editing, Is it worth to go for an I5 instead, price difference is minimal, but would i suffer from heat trouble with Haswell cpu's?

Yep i think you understand me perfectly
I actually hoped for someone like you! How many upgrades you did since then? -

I actually hoped for someone like you! How many upgrades you did since then?Quite a few upgrades Nick, as some were specifically to use to write overclocking guides, and machine cooling testing, they are from AMD 965BE to Sandy Bridge 2500K, 2550K, 2700K to my present 3770K.
One of my best friends was running an 8800GTS, and that was one serious card of the day!
If Ivy Bridge is not available to you, what is available?

Only haswell, i actualy have 2 mobos which are z77 but are more expensive than haswell. H/Z/ 87
Cpu's are only haswell.
Well there's old litlle shops with Ivy bridge cpu's but they are the same price as Haswell.
Yeah the 8800 was one of the best, i just put it in the trash today after 3 years of keeping it as a trophy after it died on me.

Motherboard wise the Z77 is leaning toward the overclocking, so whatever you pick there may be overkill with zero overclocking intentions.
CPU wise the K series is not for you unless you are an overclocker, so the 4770 (is a quad core with hyperthreading capabilities, which is highly overrated and sometimes useless IMO and not worth the extra money!) or 4670 (quad core should do whatever you need and is much cheaper!)
The only other information you'll need is if you're going Haswell you'll need a Haswell ready power supply, and that's important!
Plus DDR3 memory running 1600mhz, at least 8G 2 x 4G module set, personally I prefer the G-Skill brand, but that's your call.

This is a new player on the field, not Thermaltake but the specific model cooler and it is designed for memory clearance, it will keep your setup running as cool as possible for longevity of your hardware.
