I have decided that now is the time to order parts for my first build. But there are a few things I am unsure about.
1. Which would be better: The new E8400 C2D or a Q6600
The Q6600 is about $30 more. Which would be best consdering I probably won't overclock.
2. Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L ATX or Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R ATX
The DS3L is ~$40 cheaper. Is the DS3R worth the extra money?
3. I need a mid-range card. I am not really a hardcore gamer. Is the 8600 GT is decent low-mid range card?
