Hey guys,

I'm looking to build my first PC. I would like for it to last me for a year and a half or so.

I would like for it to run new games such as Warhammer Online, and Age of Conan on high settings lag free.

My budget is around $1000 US give or take 100 or so.

As it also being my first built PC i'm sure that I am forgetting some parts that I would need but just cant think of.

Any input on parts or anything would be greatly appreciated.

I was planning on trying to get the Q6600 processor and 8800GT, but do you guys think those are better options?
 
Well, for games yes. A Quad Core is truly for multitasking computers. Most games don't use more than 1 core so a Dual Core is plenty for a Gaming rig.
 
I'd rather go quad core for future games and I think many of you would be surprised at how much the 4 cores are already used in gaming
