Just a couple of points to add some context:
- I'm hoping to over clock the Q6600 upto 3ghz
- I'm not a gamer, however am heavy on multi-tasking
- Would like a half decent graphics card for the odd game every now and again - is the gfx card any good/should I be going with something else?
- Graphics card must support 2 monitors, both at 1680x1050
I'm hoping to go ahead with the purchase in the next couple of days - I just wanted to call on the wealth of knowledge available @ hexus to check if I'm doing anything wrong/if I could do something better.
Please let me know
Thank You.
