As far as the board, I know on board graphics suck, but you really think the first board I have there wont run well? I switched my stuff around, so the mobo/vid card and ram you suggested, but still the x2 dual core, that makes it $390, so still around my budget for now. You really think I need the quad core? 3.3ghz Dual v 3.4ghz Quad will it make that much difference at this point? Im a noob member More of a difference than you’d think, regardless of the fact that most programs don’t utilize all 4 cores. It’s one of those things where it’s better to spend a little extra now, instead of kicking yourself in the ass later… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/building-pc-suggestions-please/256780)._
