im not sure what i should buy.
I have ca 250 euro atm.

Maybe the Duo E8500 ( 152 euro) or the Core 2 Quad Q6600( 140 euro )or another ?
And the mainboard, dunno, so i need your help :)

I need your advice.

Thx in advance!

True and its expensive. The cpu isnt that expensive, if you buy the cheapest one, but the mobo and the memory makes it expensive.

and I wouldn't thrust too much on those benchmarks...

A friend of my has engineer sample and he says that sometimes in games it performs like 50% better than the best Quad Core atm (QX9770) so ;)

But yes, you will need other mobo and memory.

If you wait, wait for Nahelem .... and Q6600 is crappy kind of shit.

i7 = more costly CPU, mobo and DDR3. Yeah, that fits easily to 250euros = not!
Parent

Lukos 15 Oct 2008, 14:09
yes, but I only want to point out that if you can afford it in a few months (like end this year when the prices already dropped) you can better wait.
Parent

peoples 15 Oct 2008, 14:20
Yes, you can always wait, there is always that few months away. That ensures you never get to buy a PC.

It's really retarded to buy a complete new computer when something totally new comes out in just a few weeks

anyways, not my money.

Just looking at gaming benchmarks, the difference isn't that huge that you should invest a lot more money into it.
