Let us say $300 to $400 for a budget, and I do plan to overclock.
Is there something better in this price range than an e8400 to get when I need to add a motherboard, ram, and a nice heatsink to overclock with? This is for gaming first and everything else second. I currently have a Corsair 750W PSU and an ATI HD 4890, + everythign else I need.
Any suggestions? I have built a couple systems now for other people using a Gigabyte motherboard and an e8400. Should I do something different for myself? How far away are games from using quad core?
