Probably the Extreme or Formula SE, thoughts ar alternatives please ?

CPU wise, i was looking at the Intel Core 2 Quad, although a friend who is AMD biased, said wait for the new AMD Quad cores as they will be better, i do not really prefer one over the other, all im interested in is which performs better.

I have a new 8800 GT G-card, need MOBO,CPU & RAM to generally complete system upgrade after 3 years.

Advice much appreciated thank you

Hello BATNeo
I would like to ask you a question first, what do you intend to use this Computer Build for, general computing, home office, gaming ? if you can specify you may get more useful answers

Err, yeh sorry, good point.

Gaming is my priority, is there anything else.

Thanks

The AMD quad cores are not better they only have 2MB cache. Where the intel has 8MB

Don't spam, thanks.

For your CPU i would suggest the Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB), i game "click my name and you can read my spec"

The place you linked to for your Motherboard has the Q6600 on offer this week
