Im trying to setup my list for my next setup that i will hopefully order during April's price drops. Im confused on what i should get, the E6400 or the E6600.
The E6400 has lower cache, while the E6600 has a higher cache value and I dont know how that plays in with everything. Im expecting to overclock to get the most out of either one i choose, but the extra 100 or not is what I dont know of. Here is my list so far:
Gigabyte DS3
TT Armor
E6400 or E6600
Supertalent 2x1GB or Patriot Extreme 2x1GB (Supertalent has PC6400, while the Patriot has PC1066)
Reusing watercooling system
1 150GB raptor
1 250GB WD SE16, pairing with my current WD SE16 250GB for raid
8800GTX
Windows XP Home
Corsair HX520
Suggestions?
Thanks
