You should go for a Core 2 Duo instead of a Core 2 Quad.
Duo = Gaming.
Quad = Multitasking.

are u kidding me? CPU needs to be the smartest invest in a PC, buying a shit duo that will only last max 1 year, and another year with struggling, is a fucking shit idea
Q9550 by itself wins e8400, and the differences in money are for the q9550 considering it's gaming lifetime compare to e8400

omg plz i7 are not c2quads, its absolutly not the same structure... -_-
If he wants a new processor now, go for cheap and nice c2d or go for i7 platform.
Buyin c2q is just dumb when you see the perfomances and the prices...

450 Watt PSU would do the job also but I would spend a bit more for the motherboard, ASRock will do but it wont give you maximal preformance

Forget about s775. Get i5 or Phenom II. You probably won't need that powerful PSU either.

Hello, I'm the brother of anzz and the persons who wants to buy a new computer. You might need to know that I play WoW mostly and that I want to be able to play it with high settings without lag on my new computer.

I see a discussion about the processor. Some say i need to buy a duo some say a quad and yet another says i5, i7 or phenomII. And next to that you say the others are dead. But can you give me a good explanation why I should choose for the processor you recommend?

Btw I read that quad is better then duo in everything if you have atleast 2.83GHz. If you have lower then 2.83GHz then the duo is better at gaming. As you can see I got a processor with 2.83GHz installed. Besides that, quad has more future and duo is about to die so I don't think it's a good idea to buy a duo.
Talking about the future, the i7 is THE future, the problem with that, is that it's still expensive so thats why I choose for a quad.

I replaced:
Grafische kaarten ATI Radeon HD4000
Sapphire HD4850 HDMI
1 x à € 99,-

with:
Grafische kaarten ATI Radeon HD4000
Sapphire HD4850 Vapor-X
1 x à € 115,-

I think WoW uses only 2 cores, not 4.
Quad cores are good for video encoding or multitasks, actually there is only a few games who uses 4 cores.
And the next games will be build for i7 structure, not c2q.

So i would go for a core2duo E8400.

About your gfx, both are almost the same, only the cooling system is different.
