Well, I'm kinda building the comp around the Phenom, thats one piece I'm not up for changing. Maybe if the Intel Quads were ALOT cheaper.

I plan on using some old CRT Monitor. I aloso already have a keyboard and mouse.

My biggest concern right now is with the RAM.
The Corsair RAM has a CAS Latency of 5-5-5-15.
The Patriot RAM has a CAS Latency of 5-5-5-9.
The only other major difference is the corsair has heat-spreaders, but those aren't (as far as I know) extremely useful if you don't OC the RAM. So should i go with Patriot because it has smaller latency?
 
Youd have to be a fool to go with a phenom over a Q6600 in my opinion, and i dont think that latency will give a noticable increase in performance, even in benchmarks.

Go for the cheapest outta the 2 and go intel because the intel quad core Q6600 is the same price as your phenom and is a lot better
 
Because it outperforms the phenom in every respect, also the current phenoms have bugs with their L3 cache

I think its safe to say pretty much every one on this forum and anyone who knows anything will tell you the same
 
In that case, if all of you would unanimously choose the q600 over the phenom, I gueass I could wait on the AMD and go Intel Inside.
 
Go with Intel quad.

Btw whats this pc gonna be used for so we can help you out with the gpu and hd and case ?

Are you using vista or xp ? If your using xp 4gb is useless.
