Im planning to upgread my PC soon, but cant decide what to get. I'm planning on keeping my BFG 8800GTS 640Mb graphics card, Hard Drives, DVD drive and power supply.

Im looking to get a ASUS P5Q Pro, but i cant decide on a CPU, should i go Q6600 or a E8400 and overclock them. Also what memory will be sutable.
This PC is used only for gameing.

if its purely for gaming i'd pay a bit extra, go with the 8500 and clock it.

if you looking to get the most out of the 8500 i'd have a look at the GeIL PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Black Dragon (2gb if you're on xp 4gb if you're using vista).

if you're happy with 3.6ghz ish on the 8500 you could go with the geil black dragon pc6400.
