Hey guys~
Im in the early stages of planning a new build ( looking at what fits into my budget now, and then hopefully getting the next one up in the january sales)
My budget is roughly £1300 - £1500 as is something like this
Coolermaster Cosmos case-
Asus X38 motherboard
Intel Q6700pro
2x2gb OCZ 1000mhz ram
ATI HD 3870 X2 (if it turns out to be good)
the thing im confused with at the moment is, the processor is £340, but for £170 there is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 with a 3.0ghz clock speed. im not much of an overclocker, so stock speeds matter with me. and with the lack of multi core support, would i be better off getting the E6850 and having 2 of the 3870 x2 ( so 4 graphics cores ) or if the card turns out to be naff, getting a top of the line Nvidia card.
I always come to overclockers when building my rigs, 2 long years ago advice from you guys built this current pc
i look forward to reading your replies, and learning from your information
