4000+ man, for gaming. I think we need a sticky on this or something. A Dual Core will only make your PC CAPABLE of more, it won't improve its performance. Games are single-threaded and will remain like that for a while now, maybe even for a year. So having a Dual Core doesn't help you in games. To get a Dual Core that would perform like a 4000+ in games, you'd need to buy the X2 4800+, which is like $999 or something. So just stick with he 4000+. Also, try overclocking the Dual Core to like 2.8Ghz or 3.0Ghz. Not even in your dreams, unless you have a vaporcooling kit.
 
What do you think i can OC the vid card and CPU with the setup i have?

Hopefully looking for 4000+ to FX-55 OCing and 7800GT - 7800 GTX...

Thanks...

4000+ will go to 3.0GHz with good air cooling, and the 7800GT might be able to be overclocked to 7800GTX if you're lucky. Some of them unlock to 7800GTX, some don't. Its still worth the price though.
 
awesome system man, the one im building is almost exactly the same, just a few differences....i think i may go with something like yours though, because its a hell of a lot cheaper.....hmmm i picked up an eVGA 7800GT that i maybe selling...if ur interested send me an e-mail....

Cant wait to build it...

Also nah im going to go everything new and make sure i can upgrade in the next year or two....

Since there is now rumor of a 5000+ coming i think im going to need to start saving right now!
