I'm trying to make the system a little more future proof, as well as gaining a little bit.

I understand the Q6600 is no better for gaming, however it should work well for use with Photoshop and Cubase. I've never been a hardcore gamer. I will probably buy Call Of Duty 4, but outside of that I doubt I'd do much. GTA IV if/when it comes out, I guess.

I was told on another forum that the P5K is better than the DS3R. Do you disagree?
