Hey guys, I am in the process of getting a new computer. I am going to build it........so I wanted some advice about the components. So far I am settled on these.........good or bad want yout opinions please.It's going to be mainly for gaming and entertainment...............a computer that can stand against play station 3 and stuff like that.
If any also got a cool setup then please throw it here.
Thank in advance.

Components:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 ( 2.40 GHz )
Video card: Gigabyte nvidia GeForce 8500GT GV-NX85T512HP ( 512MB GDDR2 memory )
Ram: Kingston 2 gega ram
Mother board: Gigabyte P35-DQ6 ( not sure though )
HDD: 320 gb sata.




So what do you think guys of this setup and sorry for my bad english.

Your configurated system is good, you can buy this, but for the Video Card I am not sure, I must search...

With it being a gaming computer i would drop the processor to a core 2 duo, maybe the E6750, and get a better graphics card with the money spare. Look at the 8800GTS option, if affordable. I know here in the UK they're around £250

Does the quad core have any advantage's over the dual core other than multi tasking?.


Another question.................the quad core's available aren't higher than the speeds of dual core's ?

No,unless you include higher price or power consumption as an advantage

Another question.................the quad core's available aren't higher than the speeds of dual core's ?

Thats the way it is at the moment,but if you use applications that utilise the 4 cores then the quad core will easily outperform the dual cores anyway.
