I would appreciate any information you guys would like to give me.
NOTE I will not be buying a monitor this is the tv I have and this is what I will use.

Monitor. Philips Magnavox 15MF400T 15 in. LCD Television
http://www10.shopping.com/xPO-Phili...Philips-Magnavox-15-LCD-HDTV-Monitor-15MF400T

I know it is only 15 inch but it is the best i can do until christmas.
Also I have been debating on whether I want or need four cores. The only reason why i would get the quad would be because of the price cut on the 22nd (name of thread). Do you think this is a good idea or should I just get the Core 2 Duo E6600 thats pretty much the only thing I am debating about really. So I will put a poll on this thread and i want you guys to vote what should i get on the 22nd.
Also can someone give me an idea on how much money I will save on the price cuts? Can someone tell me. I know the Quad will be $266 dollars so can someone tell me how much I'll save. DONT FORGET TO VOTE THIS IS IMPORTANT YOU MAY VOTE MORE THAN ONCE.

I would just wait until the 22nd before buying the rig, and get the quad-core.

[Roncharlespatton]

Does anyone know how much i will save.

 

[bluedishwasher]

dropping from $530-->$266 on the qua core, i think the e6600 is about £150 in the UK right now ($300)

 

[Roncharlespatton]

what else on my list that is the intel brand will i save on like the mobo. let me know. what is QFT

 

[Cleric7x9]

am i the only person in the world that thinks the antec900 is an ugly case? i think so. anyway, should be a very nice rig you are setting up, esp when you can get a new monitor to display that sweet 8800GTX. there are lots of threads about dual vs. quad core, but none that are all that decisive. the quad i guess is more future-proof, but imo by the time apps use 4 cores any processor you buy now will be outdated anyway. gluck with it!

 

[Legend 69]

Whats happening on the 22nd, is it on this month?

 

[INTELCRAZY]

Neither!! Go E6850!!!!

 

[kof2000]

yep, price drop on processors.

 

[Legend 69]

Do you know if MESH will drop there prices then as well for there desktops or is it just the the individual proccessors?

 

[Roncharlespatton]

mesh will too

 

[Risingtide93]

Wait for quad core, mate.

 

[Legend 69]

Yeah sorry thats what i meant, are they just dropping the prices on proccessors or whole desktop PC's?
