First build CPU help
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 NZXT Tempest Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146047 Western Digital 640gb HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136319 EVGA gtx 275 superclocked (I can get it for the same price as the regular) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130478 Corsair 850 watt PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139009 Corsair 4 gb RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184 Gigabyte GA-EP45 motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358 LG dvd burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136144 Cooler Master cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103040 Intel q9550 cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115041 |

Re: First build CPU help
The q9550 should be meet your needs.
The stock HSF will be sufficient. Your links don't work for me so I can't see the RAM you have chosen. 2X2GB PC6400 would match the CPU and Mobo well. The WD Black series offers a 5 yr. warranty.
