Hi
I'm going to be upgrading soon(end of Aug., beginning of Sep.) but I'm just not sure wether to go with Core 2 Duo or go for the cheaper AM2 chipsets. I've decided to set my budget at £600, I'm finding the Core 2 Duo systems I'm trying to set up to be a little expensive considering I'm not adding a monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse. There's maybe about £70 between them and the AM2 X2 systems which are the cheaper ones as you'll know no doubt.
Would it be worth paying the extra £70 or so for a Core 2 Duo system? I'll using the PC for playing the latest games and recording music. I'm not planning on overclocking anything though, never been sure about that in case I damage something.
Also can anyone tell me if my current Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480w will be enough to run an AM2 or Core 2 Duo system?
Thanks.

) but eventually you will need to overclock it to keep up, where as that won't happen with the core 2 duo for quite a bit longer.

. Will it be likely that I'll see any of the parts drop in price quite a bit in the next couple weeks?
