Should have bought conroe if you wanted the best. Btw edit the sweary.

If you want the absolute best then this:

Would be the best option IMO, although one 8800GTX and some DDR2 6400 would also be very fast. If you plan to get 8800GTX SLi then you will also need a very good PSU. I would go for something more like this:

Sell them both and go with C2D. Any of them would eat that 5000+ for breakfast. If you are willing to spend a fortune on the rest of the bits then you might as well go the whole hog and buy the best CPU as well. Even the 6300 would murder the 5000+ when overclocked a bit.

Yep, don't be fooled into to thinking that that that the x2 5000 is quicker than the E6300 - E6600 just because it has a higher clock speed. Conroe is the daddy at the moment and it looks to stay that way for a while at least.
