Im building a gaming pc so that i can run games like Call of duty 4 - modern warefare Call of dudy - World at war Call of duty - modern warefare 2 ( when it comes out) The cpu i have decided to get is an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66GHz. What people have been telling me is that these games only run on one core? Would this cpu be able to run these games and others or will i have to get a better one? could someone recomend at cpu for an ASUS P5Q-E mother board which is under $300??
i am also getting a Asus GTS250 1GB DDR3 graphics card and DDR2 PC6400 4GB ram aswell but my main concern is the cpu. any advice would be much appreciated
Welcome to HWF The motherboard uses DDR2, so you can't use the new Intel i5/i7 series. Looking at your budget, you'll do fine with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 of 2.83 Ghz (the best you can get for that motherboard).
