Ditch the Q9300 in favor of either the Q6600, E8400, or Q9450.

And pick up a power supply worth buying. Chieftec is far from a good brand, and if you plan on going Crossfire at any point it almost certainly won't be up to the task.

wait a second,you wanna tell me that q6600 or e8400 better than the q9300?

and i know that q9450 is betther but coast more as well

and what brand can you advice me if not chiftec? and how many watt's?

Horrible system. Just throw it out.Tauruslink

LMAO! Thank you for that....

The Q6600 is significantly cheaper than the Q9300, and still performs exceptionall. The E8400 is even better from a gaming standpoint.

Watts are the last thing you want to look at in a power supply. First is brand, then you want to look at amperage on the +12v rail(s). I'd get something from Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Silverstone, Seasonic, or Enermax.

enermax very expensive,how thermaltheac TR2 Power W0070 430W ?

and you said that for gaming e8400 better thant q9300?

Q9300 has a gutted L2 cache, only a 7.5x multiplier that will hurt your OC by alot, and isnt worth it. Q6600 would kill it in every aspect. Q9450 is better than the Q6600. E8400 from gaming is very hard to beat because it can hit 4ghz easily enough with the 9x multiplier, has 6mb of L2 cache, and kicks butt.

listen in my country prices are diffrents

1190 is for q9300,and 1390 is for q9450,65 us dollars difrent,worth it?

and power suplly its complicated ,a lot of electronics stuf involved

Ditch the Q9300, get Q9450, or wait until Q9550's price drops to the price of Q9450, which should happen in about 1-2 weeks.

So save the money on the processor and pick up a good power supply. The TR2 line from Thermaltake isn't very good either. Seriously, this is not a place you want to skimp. At all.RayvinAzn

I have a thermaltake toughpower 850 watt and love it

If you do photoshop video encoding or use other multithreaded apps go with:

Q6600 or Q9450 if you got the money

For gaming:

E8400

Actually, benchmarks prove that video encoding performs significantly better on an E8500 CPU. But then again, that's just one feature. But for everything else that's non-gaming, get a Quad like he said.

The toughpower series from Thermaltake are good. I would not trust any Thermaltake PSU other than the toughpowers though.

I own a toughpower 700w and am very pleased with it as well.

i am buying this computer only for gaming,after my ps2,i discove that computer gaming its in my blood!!

how that can be,2 core like in the e8400/8500,fastest than 4core like 9300 9450?!?!?!?!?!
