Well I am looking at switching from my AMD 3800x2 to a new intel core 2 duo or the 6600 quad core. The main question is, is it worth spending the little bit extra on the Q6600 or will I not get anymore out of it then a E6850? Will the Q6600 give more performance without overclocking then the E6850 not overclocked?
I would also like recommendations on motherboards as well, im planning on getting the BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-042-BG&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=877)
The current memory I have is Corsair 2048MB TwinX XMS 3200 C2 Memory Kit which im sure may bottleneck it, but I doubt I will have the money to change this as well, after all I am looking to get my first car as well
Any help in picking CPU/Mobo would be great, got about £700ish to spend really and will probably want a new case to put it all in, so £650-700 is about what I have for that card,mobo,cpu and maybe new ram.
