Making a computer (need some suggestions)

I've just ordered a 9600GT XFX XXX SUPEROVERCLOCKED EDITION with FREE CoD4.
And i've also ordered a GIGABYTE DS3L Motherboard.

Need some suggestions on a CPU now; I'm thinking about the E8200..

Whats your thoughts?

ill go wid a Core 2 quad Q6600 2.4GHz.

How much did u pay for the 9600GT? wouldhave gotten a 8800GTS for 200ish because it seems like the card u got was the 150ish one? not sure. correct me if im wrong.

It was 330 N.Z Dollars, they aint selling any GTS'S at the site I buy from.

I'd suggest the E7200, it's got some monster overclocking potential for its price.RayvinAzn

Yeah I was reading up on the 7200 a few days ago, its looking great. Theres a small price drop coming soon too isn't there?

9.5 multi, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 cache, and an amazingly low price all make this one underestimated chip in my opinion.

woah 330 for the 9600gt, i know there are exchange rates and stuff (im in australia btw) but i can get the evga superclocked 8800gt here for 259$, provided i use staticice.com to find the lowest prices

Well it is XXX [SUPER OVERCLOCKED EDITION] and it does have a copy of Call of Duty 4

But anyways, i'm not really looking into overclocking cpu's at the moment. (It's my first time build)

I just want a good future proof CPU, i'm looking into the Q6600 now...

Q6600. Quad core. Say "I've got a Quad core" and then "I've got a Dual core" and ask yourself which one sounds the best. 4>2 etc. Quad V dual and all that jazz.
