What is your budget?
C2Q is outdated.

^ That.

Also, where are you located? Most forums assume USA unless you say otherwise.

yeah i know how bout the other specs is that good enough im from the philippines.... you know its a bit pricey here than in the us thats why i prefer c2q

Better off going with an AMD rig if you're building a tight budget. C2Q's are freaking expensive for what you get from them...

I believe AMD Athlon IIx4 would be better option than C2Q with similar price

Amd is great if your on a a budget if you go for a socket am3, say phenom II or athlon II the parts are cheap and you get a lot of performance for your money.
Mobo's can also be picked up quite cheap and dd3 ram seems to have dropped sharply in price recently.
C2Q is out dated at least with socket AM3 you can move the cpu forward to the upcoming AM3+ socket meaning you can get an AM3+ mobo first and then get a better cpu when you have the cash to do so.
