| 785027 | 2009-06-23 10:27:00 | Ive Decided to go with the Q8200 as CPU and change the power supply to an Antec (761345-27500). | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 785028 | 2009-06-23 10:29:00 | I dont think its a good time to be building a pc right now, Lynnfield has just been released and that will push prices down considerably. It will also bring Nethlam architecture down to an affordable level with 20% gain over similarly clocked Penryn! I would wait a month myself... My price range is about $1500, I think I've already passed it, but if prices are going to fall, I can wait. |

| 785033 | 2009-06-23 10:48:00 | Link for you to read anandtech.com It says: 2) The Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad branding will eventually disappear. Seems like the Core 2 series was very short lived. |

Funny How they name things like that. If the i3s turns out to be a better choice then I might use them instead. I'll wait another month and see how i3 goes but I think that my plan right now is not bad and they will probably stay at something like $700 for a year. |

| 785035 | 2009-06-23 10:57:00 | pcuser, how are you getting your parts? through pricespy perhaps? I live in christchurch. Here there is not many stores to choose from. I think the only real place you can get cheap computer parts here is dragon pc. |
