Q6600 vs. E8400 for my needs

Prices probably wont get that low for the Q9xxx, they will phase out before that happens, and nehalems will be the norm.

If you had $300.00, what Cpu, board and memory combo?

Forgot to add, here's my pick: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 - $129.99 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L - $89.99 RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2X2GB) DDR2-800 - $83.99 Total: $303.97 There's also a $15 dollar MIR for the RAM, which would bring it down to $68.99 ($288.97 total)...

Keep in mind, if you go with an E7200, the price drop should be in effect within the new couple of weeks, and will be 20 dollars less. Doesn't seem like much, but it'll give you some more savings and not have to worry about MIR's

alright, thanks for the tips, into that G.Skill ram, it seems to be quite popular. also, im not sure abou the cpu, maybe i will go with a Q6600, i'll ponder that one, maybe i can switch out the 9450 for a q6600 and spend that extra money i save on a new graphics card or something :)

I heard the Q9300 doesn't overclock well, and do you think 520W will be enough even for oc'ing? I want a little bit of space in terms of wattage, in case I buy another Hard drive or something. Also I'll check out the G.Skill ram, thanks for the input Roguestar

Alright, I edited it a bit, let's say I was building right now (because as I said I am impatient and the thought of building now always comes up) The only reason I would wait would be for the Q9550, but let's assume I am building now, how would it be? I might just get a Q9450. After all...
