Q9300

I've got 4 GB of ram I'll reuse, and a 4850 from my last crossfire setup. I cant decide if I want to sell my 4850's, and get a GTS250 though. I think the dual slot cooler, and possibility of hybrid SLI would be nice. Also, I may keep my E8200 and use that, but I'd really like a quad, and I'm not paying for the Q9550S. Also, what heatsinks are good for the Sugo5?

Thoughts?
 
Keep in mind the Q9300 gets hot. I had one of them in my SG01 and SG03 and it was always in a hurry to get up there in temps. I'd heavily consider getting one of those 65W Core 2 Quads instead.
 
Q9300 isn't an active part anymore. You should look for the Q9400.
 
K so, either the Q9400, or keep what I have. I'm leaning toward keeping what I've got because of the price of getting a quad. As for the graphics, I've decided on the GTS 250.
 
Silverstone tested it with a Q9550, GTS 250, 2 raptor drives, 8 GB of ram, and a Blu-Ray, and it all worked under that PSU
 
An E8200. The zotac site says I can use any quad, no matter the TDP. I just want something good for gaming. I'm gonna sell off my sig rig, with the exception of my RAM and HDD, so that way I can buy the Sugo 5, the 9300 ITX, the GTS 250, and then a quad, I think
 
If you're just gaming, I'd be tempted to just stick with the dual core for now and wait for a really good deal on a 9550 or 9650 to save some cash in the short term.
 
I'm thinking I may just do that as well, but thing is, I have the money for the Quad, as long as I can sell my current rig, and my rig has less of a chance of selling if I don't include the E8200. It's almost pointless to keep my E8200.
 
Well, yeah, obviously do whatever works out best for you. I was just giving you another option ;).
