would it be worth the cash and would i see much difference

Do you need to upgrade? have you got your cpu overclocked? maybe just a new gfx card or an SSD?

im clocked at 3.6 on the q6600 and the nb gets quite hot too hot to touch sometimes and ive got a 5850 and an intel value ssd and to be honest i was lookin at the r3e with a 980x but its just to much money for me to spend on a pc so i thought i can upgrade and go for a weekend away

I don't think that you actually need to make an upgrade because you will see no difference if you buy another quad core CPU and keep in mind that games and applications barely know know hot to use 2 cores...

^^Hes talking about upgrading to a 6 core

Well tbh Johnny if you really feel you need it i wouldnt bother as you already have quite a good system, Maybe watercool your NB and cpu etc? or buy a better heatsink/fan for the NB?

i was looking into bigger heatsing for the nb sb and mosfets the nb and sb can have fans so that might help

As I said:

keep in mind that games and applications barely know know hot to use 2 cores...

, what improvement will he see with a 6 core than?
