So, I'm getting a new processor for my Alienware (flame away). My only choices are Core 2 Duos, so what would you guys suggest?

EDIT: I'm thinking about getting this.

...How can your only choice be a dualcore? ._.

Anyway, I'd say get a good cooler to go with it and overclock it until it shits out its mouth.

That's the only (and I mean ONLY) good thing about Alienwares, they're upgradeable.

If a core2duo is your only choice.
I would strongly recommend a 8400 anytime over the 8600.
Basically the same chip but the 8600 is way overpriced.
Save you acouple hundred bucks.
Also the 8400 overclocks like Crazyyyy, if your into that.

Here's the thing. This is a birthday present, and we don't have the time to save enough to buy another pc. Instead, we're gonna upgrade mine until around Christmas, then buy a new gaming rig. (We bought a house and we have to pay for it at around the same time as my birthday)

EDIT: The rig I wanna get.

What do you people expect from me? I have NO experience in building anything, let alone a computer. Christ, I'm only 15...


BUT. I could just go with impulse and buy from CybertronPC (Heard good reviews about them, and iBuypower is to inconsistent with their products...)

I built my computer when I was 14...

All I did was watch this tutorial. It's not as nearly as hard as it sounds, just think of building a PC is like putting together a puzzle/legos. The only trouble you'll have is hooking up the power button and audio/usb leds and stuff but...yeh. And that shit you linked to is overpriced as fuck.

Yeah... I wasn't thinking right when I posted those.

I might look into building one, I just need the time (I'm on a cruise ATM)
