Intel Core 2 Quad, 2.5 ghz, 4 cores, 4MB Cache, LGA-775 socket/92W.
You can always try to overclock it to a good 2.8ghz or even 3.0 if you have proper cooling.

I would recommend against going with that processor, getting a cheap quad core with a small cache will be MUCH slower in daily usage than getting a similarly priced dual core.

This dual core would prove much faster in daily usage than that quad core, since most applications aren't threaded very well, your individual core's performance becomes much more important versus how many cores you have.
With that quad core your computer might as well just have this processor in it most of the time.

But if you would like to go the quad core route, go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041.
A little bit more pricy but it has a large cache, and lots of room for overclocking.
I have the Q9450 right now, and its pretty ace.
The rule of thumb for Intel quad cores are, if you paid less than 200 dollars for it, you paid too much.
A similar rule applies for AMD quad core processors, if you paid less than 100 dollars for a AMD quad core you paid too much.

I checked out the ibuypower.com ....I built a good computer and came out to about 1.7k AND its better than that 2k alienware.
Problem is graphics card....not sure which one to get......Nvidia GeForce GTX 450+????
General specs of computer i built
AMD phenom x6 cores
6 gb ram(gaming series)
800watt power supply
SLI motherboard
only 1 graphics card...cant decide which one?

If you have the cash go for the 470, otherwise 460 is good. But I'd hold off for about a month, since nvidia is about to release all of their new 500 series cards, you can expect all of the prices of the last gen cards to drop a fair amount.
