I'm interested in a new PC build in the next few months to replace my current setup
Q6600
GA-PEP35-DS3P
4GB DDR2
8800GT XXX
I mostly use the PC for graphic design applications, multitasking and gaming.
I don't know if it's worth spending the extra hundred dollars for the i7 2600 over the i5 2500 because of hyper threading and 8MB cache? Will it make a noticeable difference over the i5 when I'm multitasking, running adobe apps etc?
here is where I'm at with specs
i7 2600
Corsair dominator 8GB
Gigabyte GeForce GTX560 Ti
Antec True power 750watt
Fractal Design RC3
