thanks how future proof is the 1st option i dont mind spending the dosh if its going to last a while, i see there is an amd x6 out is that any good or just over rated thanks again
 
If the main use is gaming then a more powerful graphics card would be the best bet for now. If you want to upgrade everything else i would wait until Q2 next year and see what AMD's new Bulldozer cores bring. They will need a new socket, AM3+ and are not backwards compatible with the current AM2+ or AM3 sockets.
 
i use my laptop for the boring stuff and this one for both gaming and boring stuff but i would like it to be high spec as poos so i dont have to keep upgrading
