My computer will be used for internet browsing, itunes, watching movies but mainly playing modern games such as Crysis, Fallout 3 etc...
What CPU should I go for, a top of the range dual core CPU such as the 3.3GHz core 2 E8600 or a 2.8GHz quad core Q9550 ? Surely where games are concerned it is best to go for a faster clock speed as it is not as though I do any video encoding etc.
I could save myself a decent £60 or so by getting the E8600, and could always upgrade to quad in a year or so. What do you think?
