I Dont Have That Much Money Atm . . . haha

Does anyone here have the Q6600? How does it perform?

Well what is your budget? Thats very important in building a machine and recommending parts.

Judging from your poll, car first

Q6600 is a monster

I also recommend intel P35 motherboards instead of 680i
