I'm just about ready to go ahead and order some stuff from Newegg tonight to upgrade my PC, and I was looking for input as to which processor I should get.
Here is what the system is going to consist of:
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
GIGABYTE GV-NX85T256H GeForce 8500GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
I will mainly be using the computer to view HD encoded videos, capturing old VHS tapes to DVD with my Hauppage card, as well as a video game or two.
The price difference between the E4500 & E2180 is $40, and I wasn't sure if I would really see that much difference in what I'm using the PC for.
Any suggestions?
