Hey guys, so I'm looking at either buying a new PC or just upgrading my current CPU. The max CPU I can go for is Q6600 2.4GHz which i can get second hand for about 70 pound or new for around 150ish. I was looking at pc from overclockers which has a AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 640 chip.

Guess I'm asking which is faster and if the amd is faster is it by enough to make a real difference?

thanks,

Second hand sounds reasonable for the performance http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/122?vs=53
