    Not one of all the things you said really use quad cores though, maybe you could get a duo and a 4870 instead.

    Yeah, get a high end dual core like E8500 and save the money for something else.

    That's pretty good already. You can continue to build that. It'll run good. But if you have another few more RAM sticks, it'll help too! (futureproofing?) :)

    Yeah, get a cheaper dual-core CPU.. and use the money saved to buy 2GB of RAM. Vista will run really nice with 4GB. :thumb:
