Well after some playing around with overclocking my ASUS P5K-E with both an E2160 and E2180 I am considering something more. I do have a watercooled setup so power shouldn't be an issue.
I found an E8400 on EBay for $200+$15 shipping and a Q6600 (SLACR Version GO Stepping) for $208+$12 shipping. So basically they are about the same price.
I do mostly gaming but also do video editing so the quadcore might come in handy. I also want to OC and I know the Q6600 can be tricky.
So what are your thoughts?
