Hi guys, where the hell should i spend my money! Im really annoyed that i cant choose!
Im trying to choose between this:

Intel Quad Core 10ghz+
3gb Ram DDR2
8600GT nvidia Card
7.1 Surround Sound

and an Xbox 360.

I can get the pc for $800 and the Xbox 360 for $600. (AUS)
I only want one of the above so if you could help me make a choice that would be great.

Get the PC, definitely, but 4 x 2.5Ghz cores does not equal 10Ghz.

Okay, but then, how does figuring out max power for a quad core work?
EDIT: Wait i just worked it out. A quad core 2.5ghz is 2.5ghz but it can maintain that constant 2.5ghz processing speed vastly longer... correct?

PC without a doubt, i was originally going to buy a PS3 with my money then i saw sence and decided to save a little more for a decent PC.

dude get the pc. pc can run so many games at such higher quality than a 360. and you can do things on a pc that a 360 couldnt even begin to think of doing. oh and quad core means it is a 2.5 ghz processor but it has four processors for multi-tasking or serious demand processes.
