Quite nice build, should last for a while. Why you didn't get the quad core?

Invest a bit for the future!

[QUOTE=evilking1]Quite nice build, should last for a while. Why you didn't get the quad core?[/QUOTE] Quads wouldn't do anything for gaming, most games to the max use dual threading, I haven't seen games that use quads yet and probably won't for another 2 years, no game needs that much processing.

[QUOTE=General1337]Quads wouldn't do anything for gaming, most games to the max use dual threading, I haven't seen games that use quads yet and probably won't for another 2 years, no game needs that much processing.[/QUOTE] This is the same thing as with getting a DX10 card instead of the DX9 one. Both are around the same price, DX9 ones a bit cheaper, performance is just about the same with the games of today, but still you get the DX10 card so you can play cryshit.
