I'm looking at getting a quad core mainly for 3d rendering (maya) will also be used for some photoshop/illustrator/flash and gaming and I currently have a p35 system with a e8200 and a amd am2+ system which has pcie2 and was wondering which cpu you guys think is better value, both cost about the same and have similar performance.

Does pcie2 make much of a difference over pcie 1.0?
