Hi everyone. A couple of days ago, I had a thread to review my first build before I ordered it. A friend showed me that the Intel q9550 recently had a price drop and I think I might use it instead of the e8500 dual core. I want to use it because I do some video converting and some of the games I want to play support multiple cores. Are there any AMD or Intel quad cores that would be better for a comparable price? Or is the q9550 a good enough cpu?
Here's the parts I would use with the q9550
