a pentium 4 3ghz is 9 years old, a dual core a 2.69 ghz will be faster, allthough you have pretty slow dual cores , if they run at that speed they may still be slow, but they certainly be faster than that p4. With what are you building, i hope you don't have to pay for this parts because they're old

" Pentiom 4 runing at 3.00ghz or a duol core runing at 2.69ghz " should never be in the same sentance as "Gaming Pc"

Jesus..Nice spelling and grammar. What are you, 5 years old? Lol. OT: Use something better than either of those two options for a gaming PC.

Give him a break. What matters is he needs help. Nobody's perfect dude. Anyway, champion331, the dual core is much better. but still a weak CPU. Try getting an Intel i3 or an i5 if you can afford it.

champion331
Which country are you from anyway? You said SA, does that stands for Saudi Arabia? And by R1000, do you mean 1000 Riyals? Anyway, if you can afford an Intel i5 processor with a speed ranging from 2.20 - 2.60 ghz. That would be great.

Well, you've got no choice but to go with the Dual Core. Don't worry, you'll be fine with it. Just don't expect new games to look very good.

Do you already have a 775 board? If you do then that CPU would be a good choice, eather that or a used Core 2 Quad. But even the cheapest 1155 board and a dual core celeron/pentium would be a lot better deal, since you would have a good upgrade path.

I hope you feel big and manly now you bully. For all you know it might be a kid or someone with dyslexia or some sort of learning disability. Major disapprove of your words and hope you get a ban. and dear op not all people on GS are like this guy, so just ignore him and the other bully's. your going to struggle making a decent gaming rig with those parts in my opinion, best to give us all your budget and some cool people on GS will no doubt lay you out with a list of parts to make one.

Like others have said, I'd go with the dual core.
I use an E8400 dual core @ 3.00GHz and it still runs everything fine... It is a stronger dual core, but I guess it shows that dual cores aren't completely obsolete yet.

Jesus..Nice spelling and grammar.

LMFAO! And now you've just abused the poor guy by saying he might be a kid with dyslexia or a learning disability. I just said his spelling and grammar were crap, it wasn't anything hurtful or anything. In all his posts except for his first one he writes things fine. I was just mucking around and poking fun. You just assumed he was retarded in some way or something which is way meaner!

I am leet quake live player, and can tell you that keyboards do not matter much, but I am really fond of this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Keyboard-One-touch-Internet-920-002719/dp/B003VAM36K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322568111&sr=8-1 I get on typingtest.net 130+ on this consistently, while on my old IBM keyboard I was around 115+ Old nice dell keyboard I was around 120 Old keytronic board around 120 But this keyboard is very light and easy to press keys, which I actually find to be the best.

>might be

We don't know if some is or isn't... People tend to get modded for "poking fun" at people who do spell poorly.

But wireless keyboards are dumb. ;D
... Even if they work fine a lot of the time...

why dont you look at AMD. A phemom ii with a new motherboard and Ram can be as low as $200 and if that is much then an athlon quad core can save you another $30-40
