Discussing our CPU options for what we want to spend we have looked at the C2D E6600 & E6850, but also the C2Q Q6600 since its the same price as the E6850. Whats your feeling on jumping to a quad in this build? In some of the tests I have seen they are close at times. This will be an every day system, but will need to handle its own in gaming. User is not a super hard core gamer but a gamer none the less and will probabaly have this computer for more than 2-3 years. (His last hit 5!) Below are some specs from newegg.com:
I did some research for a customer two weeks ago for a high end machine, and all the benchmarks I read put the Quad cores slightly slower than the Duals. So I went E6850.
