Salam Brothers,
I need to build a system, most probably for gaming. I want run all latest generation games without any hesitation, full resolution , and certainly yes, it simply means to cash up my budget, this is not the possible. My confusion at the moment is about processor.
I'm going to get a C2Q processor Q9650 3Ghz 12mb cache LGA775 at Rs.1000(1 year warranty) more than Corei3 3220 3.3Ghz 3Mb cache Rs.12K(new)LGA 1155 Socket.
Gpu and RAMS are not a problem. I do have enough knowledge about these components.
I need your professional suggestions and advice to some how make me choose either of the two.
Helps guys, don't have much time :(.

As suggested by others go with Core I3 3220 its better than all the core 2 quad of lga 775(even core i3 second generation is better than all core2quads) and with core i3 you have more upgrade options.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
