Hello all first time post, and if this is not were its supposed to be please mods feel free to move it.
I'm going to be buying a complete new system and I need to know which would be the better choice of a processor for me.
I'm thinking either the Q6600 or the Q9450. Either or would be on a Evga 780i mobo with 8 Gig of OCZ SLI Ready DDR2-800 ram and what ever the top of the line video card is at the time in SLI or Crossfire. Also going with some kind of 1000 Watt PSU.
I'm building this pc for playing Diablo 3 and some Crysis, etc..
So, which would I be better of getting of the two processors? I've never overclocked anything before but I really want to try it out for sure. I'm also getting a Zalman 9700NT heatsink and fan and either a Antec 1200, NZXT Tempest or a Zalman GS1000 case.
This pc will be mostly gaming and surfing with the occasional DVD rip or Blue-Ray movie watching. I also will be using Vista Ultimate 64bit
Thanks for your help, and if you have questions do not hesitate to ask!
