Also it is pretty accurate compared to other normal posts.. so congrats.but I still wud like to point out few things..AMD definitely have a very cheap CPU line. And is usually better in price/performance. specially if you are going to use the computer for more than 3 years, consider AMDs phenoms. Tri/Quad cores of this line out performs Intel Cores at similar price points. So will give you an edge when the applications adopt to use 3/4 cores.Cache is one of the most important things in a CPU, sometimes even more important than the clock speed, and is important no matter what you are doing. Because the higher the cache, the lower the misses and  hence, lower the memory latency. So whatever you do, in my opinion, more cache is gonna speed things up.I do not agree with that. Overclocking potential depends a lot with the CPU family and stepping. and a lot more on the motherboard you choose. And also a huge deal can be regarded as luck. For instance, E8400(2.66 stock, 1333FSB) can possibly hit around 4.0-4.1GHz. But E6600(2.4 stock, 1066FSB) would collapse somewhere near 3.5.  Even E6550 (2.33 stock, 1333FSB) sometimes go higher than that.Additionally, lookout for CPU steeppings too. They can make a huge difference too. Q6600 B3(as I remember,) could touch 3.0 in many cases. Yet the newer revision, Q6600 G0, can go up to even 3.6-3.8 And all these I am talking about is AIR cooling.The next thing is the motherboard. Get an Intel, You are screwed (In the sence of overclocking. They make very reliable motherboards for normal use though) Intel does not support overclocking (they changed their strategy with bonetrail and skulltrail -Skulltrail, was a pain in the ass not recommended at all..!!<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />, they support overclocking) And ASUS, GIGABYTE and ABIT are very good overclockers. Any motherboard with good heat sinks on MCH and power plane capacitors (caps which are right next to the CPU for power regulation) and very elaborate BIOS settings list will be a good overclocker if YOU ARE LUCKY!!Yeah, luck plays a prominent role when you are overclocking. I have a Q6700 running at 3.0 in STOCK VOLTAGES in my cheap abit IP35. But some with the same configuration could not get to 3.2 even with 1.5Vcore(which is the max it can unofficially handle, if anyone wonders) and some, can hit 3.5 with a single step Vcore increase. Or more generally speaking, if you bought 2 exact same CPUs from same store and test them, one might give you 3.0G, whereas the other might pound up to the 3.5G limit.One more important thing, Overclocking is fun, yet stupid, if you dont have money to waste...!!!! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
