Looking for some suggestions, i'm gonna build a quad core. I've come up with this build and am slightly over budget. I m looking to spend no more than $800. So i would like to cut corners where i can. My main concern is the cpu, mobo, and ram. Should i go Duo, or Quad. I edit videos, do a bit of photoshop, would like to start playing COD4, or games similar. Thanks.
