good cpu?

[blazer565]

what is a good cpu for gaming and multitasking but doesnt have an outrageous price tag?

 

[fadedstar]

anything Intel dual or quad you can afford.


Vague answer to a vague question.

What is your price range?

yea sorry about that my price is 220 or less for just the cpu. i wasnt shure if i should get a barebones or motherboard combo to start out but i was thinking the intel q6600 for a cpu. i want a quad core though

Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

There are Phenom's in that price range.. but they are weaker in performance to Intel's Dual Cores..

If you are dead set on a Quad though...
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Its weaker though
