Hello all , I'm looking to build or have a new PC built for me real soon . I have a question on which CPU to get . I've read alot of post and most pretain to Oc'it. I have bought Dell's in the past and lookng for something new ( cheaper than Dell ) . I have never built a PC and i have a local store that will build it for $75 , including a burn in test .
Looking to build a gaming pc and leaning towards the E8400 . I plan to keep the is PC 2-3 yrs with minor upgrades . And maybe a yr or so down the line upgrade to a Quad as prices drop even lower . One question I have atm is it worth say upgrading to the Q9550 now ? Will I see a big increase in performance for $150 more? The Mobo I thinking of using for my build is Asus p5q -e.
Thanks
