Hi again
The price of a Q6600 is about the same as a ATI 3870 so... if I wasn't able to buy both for my PC (see specs in profile) which would you kind people suggest I go for first? My home built machine is compromised by the Asrock 4coreVSTA mobo (their website says to expect a 5% hit when using any quad core, and the PCI-E slot is only 4x). I have my doubts whether a 3870x2 would work very well in it but would be interested in trying it...
The games I'm interested in at the moment are Crysis, World in Conflict, Stalker, BioShock, Oblivion, Company of Heroes and a few Half-Life 2 engine based titles. The monitor is 1920x1200 native.
I know the mobo is currently a limiting factor but with either Cpu or Gfx choice, I can take them with me to a decent X38/48 and let them fulfil their full potential in the future...

tada!
I was hoping to avoid a mobo swap this year as I don't enjoy replacing the darn things (rather just plug a cpu/gfx card in). And then I'd think about getting a new case to go with it, maybe a new cooling system, psu, might as well stick in a Blu-Ray etc LOL.
