which cpu should i buy quad or e2180?

k im considering going 4 the e2180 instead of a quad due to the huge price difference allowing me to buy better components like gfx and case..., i have never overclocked b4 and was wondering how easy it is to do and what results i will get from the e2180 in comparison to the power of the q6600, also what motherboards and cooling do u recommend to get a decent result. im on a bit of a budget btw lol. so do u guys think the performance of a e2180 overclocked will be anywhere near the quad and is it near enuff to make it worth getting and saving £100? thanks 4 your advice

yeh i spose so, i will be using it for gaming mainly as well as some photo and 3d applications (maya) but yeh i guess the quads will come down in price by the time they r truly needed anyway
 
yeh i was planning on the 8800gt either way but the cpu cost will affect my, case, psu, amount of ram (2 gig insted of 4) and some other stuff. but if the e2180 when overclocked is good enuff 4 all the latest games including crysis, ut3, bioshiock..... then a quad might not be worth the downgrade in other areas and i can always upgrade to quad when it is needed , by then they will probaly be dirt cheap anyway i guess.
 
yeh so i have heard but aren't they going to be more expensive, because i won't have anymore money than i currently do because i am a student :)
