Hi thanks a lot for the very fast replies. I would be using it for gaming primarily. I have a dell comp at the min so would take some parts from that, I have an ATI X1900 so hopefully that will do for just now. I will have to upgrade my RAM because I think the dell RAM has a strange number of pins or something that won’t fit a lot of motherboards. Max budget would prop be around £600. I was mainly upgrading for a new processor (CoH slows down quite a bit sometimes, using a 3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 just now which isn’t very good).

God thanks a lot for all the quick replies, you guys certainly work fast and know your stuff! I dont think I will overclock tbh, don’t know enough about it, but at the same time I want the games to run well at good settings. Is the E6600 good at the normal settings, as in not overclocked? Since I won’t be overclocking would it be better to get the E6700?

Thanks

Ok thanks a lot for everyone’s help. Much appreciated. I will try and give this overclocking business a try with the E6600. Out of interest, would it be worth my time to wait until these price cuts in July? I will be using the PC for gaming so would a quad core make much difference for todays games? (btw I am def going to get crysis when it come out, not sure of that makes any dif). Sorry if it’s a stupid question.
