Hi,
I'm just about decided to finally get a new PC. My heart is set on a sapphire HD4870 card but I'm undecided when it comes to either getting a q6600 quad core or E8500 dual (or maybe one of the new quads). I'm also not sure what to get for the mainboard and whether I should get crossfire support or not.
The machine will be for gaming but also video editing/encoding and maybe some 3d rendering if I decide to learn how to do things.
