So, you really need that 'core'? Did you know, according to rumors, with a mainboard and AMD's quad core processor draws about 500W? With the x2900 graphic card, with still don't know how much it draws is a pain! It's enough for me to work on 3 computer in a same time. You don't really need that in my opinion. Are you a heavy gamer?

Quad core are insane processors, over here those standard one costs over £700 that's around $1500 in USD. You don't always need a mega powerful gaming computer to play your games. (Unless you're rich and willing to spend that kind of cash)
