The prices have dropped to the point of being similar. I'm building this for a friend that will only use it for gaming. I'm guessing that the E8400 would still be the best route to go but he normally keeps a system for several years. Will the Q9400 "future" proof him more for game that should be released the in the next year or two?
I looked at a i7 system so he could just drop in a different proc in a year but it looks like to much of a price premium at this point for what he will need it to do. Thanks
