It's good, definitely. Though there are now better quad cores.

Thanks for the link. Looking forward to my new Q6600 :)

It's gai. LOL j/k You don't need a quad-core silly noob, a dual-core is sufficient for anything really. But if you insist...

Re: ordering these

thats a crap Q6600. B3 stepping.

You want G0.

EDIT

The reason you want G0 stepping is because it allowes you to OC more with less heat generating. So I guess if you absolutely plan to not OC it won't matter to you...

As for mobo you can get a 680i over the 650i though i don't know what the difference is.

the difference between 650i and 680i shows up in SLi performance and its only minimal. You can only get 8 pipes per card on the 650i or something along those lines. Seeing as thats not an SLI board, there wouldn't be a difference.
