As stated in the title, i need help with choosing two builds. Should I go for an i7 2600 and Nvidia gtx 645 1gb or a build with a Core 2 Quad Q8400 and Nvidia 650. These are both pre-builts btw. If i go for the i7 build, I will update my graphics card as soon as possible. If I go for the CSQ Build, I will update the CPU/Mobo as soon as possible. Thanks for the help!

Well it wouldn't be immediately after purchase. I would check it out and see how the CPU handles games. I tried to find videos of The Intel CSQ8400 playing games but kept finding it with 4gb ddr2. Wouldn't it also seem stupid to upgrade the gpu and possibly the PSU?

GPU is an easy upgrade.
If you know what you're doing you should be able to do it while holding your breath.

To upgrade the cpu you'll of course need a new mbob, ram and of course have to strip almost everything out of your case and re-assemble. After that you'll have the hassle of uninstalling the old mobo drivers and installing new ones and hope it all goes smoothly.
What a PIA!
After all of that you'll probably end up getting a new GFX card anyway.

You didn't list a PSU so I can't comment on that.

I speculated that I would possibly need a new PSU but ya I am not sure the specifics. I do know that the CPU/Mobo is more of a hassle but maybe Ill enjoy seeing all the components? Lol but i may just get the i7 unless I can huild my own, but im not for sure.
