Well i currently was looking into a build which came out to be a little more than i had so in order to cut cost from the core 2 q6600 i began looking into the phenom quad cores or just a core 2 duo(x2). Keep in mind im trying to keep the cpu cost to about 140 and below. What do you guys think? More cores less cache or less cores more cache? I figured id add that ill be using ddr2 4gb ram or so and wont be overclocking to much. Using this for a little bit of gaming,video editing,music editing, well my computer is my favorite tool put it that way. anyways thanks
 
Oh yeah if i can get a cpu to about 100 or 120 i might opt for 8 gigs but that might not be an option depending on funds.
 
If your software is multi-threaded then I'd hold out for the quad core, if not a C2D would be great.
 
You could find the E7200 for around $120 shipped at NewEgg. If this system is more of a multitasking machine, you may want to rearrange your budget so you could afford the Q6600.
