Re: Buying Advice - new rig

If you can afford it, go for the Quad Core.
Its going to be around far longer than any dual core CPU and if you overclock that E8400 anything around 4ghz or more you will need to up the voltage. If you up the voltages on a 45nm CPU you will DRASTICALLY shorten its lifespan.
