Just wondering which cpu is best for gaming rig at the moment presuming your going to overclock.
Thanks
I was stuck in the same situation as you a while ago, but seriously, GET THE Q6600!!!!!!
It is awesome, 4 cores!!!!
Shower shorts, for the man who has nothing to hide, but still wants to.
if you are considering the Q6600, seems money is not a problem...go for it
Q6600 (G0, ideally) for the win.....
Main: i5 2500K, AsRock Extreme4 Z68, 8GB Vengeance, Enermax Infiniti, 5850 1GB
Toys: Cowon J3 32GB, DIR-655, PS3 Slim, HTC Desire, HDC-SD1, Slingbox, Synology DS109j, Asus Transformer + dock
The Q6600 seems to be the cpu of choice at the moment, i mean who doesn't wan't 4 cores? If you want to save £50 then get the E6750, perfectlly capable of running all and any games, gpu performace is by far the biggest limiting factor at the moment.
The cost difference, combined with a plethora of up-coming games being very multi-threaded, means the Q6600 is starting to shine for gamers

Q6600 + a trivial to perform overclock of 25% to 3GHz. Then you'll have the equivalent of the fastest intel chip on the market.

Just played Unreal Tournament 3 demo, runs perfect on my Q6600 @ 3.0ghz. Aswell as other games like Bioshock and Lost Planet.
Q6600 for sure!
My Rig - 2x Dell 24" 2407WFP A04 / Fractal Define XL / Asus P5K-E / Q6600 G0 @ 3.0Ghz - AF7 / 4GB Corsair RAM / 520W Corsair PSU / 4890PCS+ / 8TB HDD
another vote for q6600 here
right now for the price, the q6600 cant be beat! they also overclock GREAT! Get the G0 stepping and go!
UT3 runs perfect on my humble E6320, it isn't as resource hungry as I expected. Bioshock and World in Conflict seem to strain it more though. So a Q6600 would sort that out.
bioshock runs really nicely on my e6300 overclocked to 2.8ghz
