Hey all, just still in the process of building my pc, specifically for games.
I would like to know if you guys will think this will run at all and if so, how well. Also which CPU i should get. Really undecided between the e8400 and the q6600.

So far i have a EVGA 780i sli motherboard, leadtek GF gtx 260 896mb, 4gb 800mhz RAM, 320gb segate hdd, rewritable dvd.

I also have to get a decent PSU and CPU so can anyone give me answers to my questions please...

E8400. From what people are saying, seems like quad-cores are pretty much useless unless you do extensive multi-tasking that involves video or audio encoding of some sort.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

However I would have chosen the following PSU:

everyone multitasks - nobody turns stuff, many people have browswers up while they game - many listen to music

this debate is getting me tired!
