Another E8xxx Vs Q6600

[Zake202]

I've read a lot on both of these.

Any E8XXX can be OC'd to 4+ GHZ, on the other hand, the 6600 can be OC'd to 3.6.

Which is the better bang for the buck for someone building a new PC that won't be upgraded for at least 2 years?

I mainly game.

Gorram it, another one of these threads.

Look, read through those other threads again. You won't get any new info posted in your thread that hasn't already been posted in the other 100+ threads about a dual-core CPU VS a quad-core CPU or E8400 VS Q6600.

But a few links that you should read:
CPU scaling in games with quad-core processors
CPU Scaling With The HD4870X2
