Q8200 vs Q6600

[snakej]

Ok! guys im pretty sure U guys had hear this alot....
im gonna be building my new ring and i came a cross a new problem, i was going to get the evga ftw 750i mobo in a combo with Q8200 which came to be $309.50 dollar exellent price for my budget, problem is that going by what i found in my research the q8200 isnt that nice, less cache than the Q6600 and overclock less even if it is a low 45n, as somebody's review i read said that Q8200 is like one of the bad phenoms, so now im a little confuse on what should i get, there is no combo with the q6600 that has that motherboard or the has same price, i did saw the E8500 with Asus P5n-D at the same price and i now dual cores still better in games but i dont really like the p5n-D cuz of the memeroy its just go up to 800mhz memory and there is alot of reviews of ppl who wanted to sli and couldnt cuz the Pci-E are to close, I might be able to get the $100 more that i need to buy the 780i and q6600 but i could just be paranoid and the Q8200 and the evga 750i are an exellent choice and i can save those $100 for a better video card??

I have a quad core, and love it, but get a dual core, they are much better for gaming.

Same price. I do 3D, so the quad core is actually helpful.

the problem is if i go for that dual core im going to end up buying the p5n-d mobo which i dont like, isnt the Q8200 and evga 750i ftw better?

Combo evga mb + q9400... 385$

the q9400 at stock is faster than the q6600...

the bad thing about the q8200 is the low multi for the overclocking...

ok, i see nobody for the q8200 lol.... I Though i was getting a nice upgrade, i was getting the fallowing:

Evga 750i FTW editon in combo with Q8200 $309 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.146162 )

MSI GTX 260 $199 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127361&Tpk=msi%20gtx%20260 )

Dominator 1066 4gb(2x2gb) w/fan included $99 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145197 )

Antec 900 case $109 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&Tpk=antec%20900%5c )

But since nobody is up for the q8200 wich really fit my budget of 700 bucks, im now getting the fallowing:

Evga 750i FTW editon in combo with Q9400 $385 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.146160 )

Evga 9800 gtx+ $184 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130376 )

Dominator 1066 4gb(2x2gb) w/fan not included $69 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145214 )

Antec 900 case $109 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&Tpk=antec%20900%5c )

One more thing how much better is the my second choice with 9800gtx+ over the first one with the 260gtx???

What is with everyone getting the most expensive ram?
It seriously makes one of the smallest differences in gaming speed compared to 800Mhz ram that is seriously a quarter of the price.

Unless you're going for the absolute best fastest enthusiest gaming system, stick with 800Mhz ram with decently low latency, and you likely wont be able to tell the difference at all.

 

[nocteratus]

+1 on the 800mhz ram

 

[Zorg]

Yeah, 800 with 1.8-1.9V.

 

[nocteratus]

keep the gtx 216, it's much better than the 9800gtx+ for the price difference.

and that difference can be save on the memory...

and you get 30$ MIR from the cpu and mb combo

wow no one ever talked to me in such way curnel....lol..just jk,,,,i did came into sense by what u say, 1 memroy 800 can be overclocked and 2 is much cheaper, i came back and included my gtx 260 with my q9400 and my 750i ftw just for the fact that im gonna go with this memory( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227269 ) and im getting 60 in mir so i couldnt be happier...i got to admit, i was looking foward to see the dominator fan thru the antec side panel but instead ill be looking intense grapgics with the video card and procesor thanx guys!!

changed my mind as for the memory, i think im gonna get the geil evo one 800mhz ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144200 ) i know there is alot of cheaper 800 memory but when it come to overclocking and stability there are jsut a few options i think im settle with those for $56.99 without shipping...any other option ill listing...

 

[nocteratus]

for the memory go with this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231209
it has better timing, 4-4-4-12 at low voltage of 1.8-1.9v and are very good for OC...
