when u play old games (before DX10) QX6700 improve the performace a bit. So let's it be! The mobo and PSU from quadcore systems not perfect, ASUS p5n32-e SLI is better, and PSU may be over 850W!
Get Quad Cores!!!!! Dump the PSU, get Silverstone 750W Dump the 250G HDD or keep it for storage, buy 2x WD Raptor in Raid 0 Dump the sound card, buy Creative ZS Then overclock your PC to >3ghz. I promise you, your system will fly :somot:
