I have a budget of $800 for the PC alone. I found this computer and the only thing I don't like is the dual CPU. Should i swap it with a quad on the ibuypower site? I'm not a hard core gamer but was told many games will start to access 4 cores so i don't want my PC to become obsolete fast. Also, i'm planning on using dual 20-22" monitors. I have a budget and newegg does not charge tax, but ibuypower does if i buy it from their website. Which CPU would you recommend, if so?

are these monitors good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236067
My friend recommended ASUS.
 
Well, everyone's advice would be not to buy pre-built... But I definitely would go quad. It's not that much more and you could sell the dual for a nice enough price.
 
Why not get the computer pre-built from newegg, also buy a phenom x4 955 then do a straight swap, should be pretty easy. Then you sell the x2, you can probably get at least $70-$80 for it meaning you only spent $40-$50 extra on getting a better CPU.

Can't help with the monitors though, no clue.
 
that line of monitors from asus are really good. a few of my friends have them in sizes ranging from 20-24 inches. Great monitors.
