Hey there ,putting together my first true gaming rig. My goal is to have this thing last 5 years with only upgrading the videocard(s).
CPU:
Q9300
Q9400
Q9550
GPU:
9800GT
Motherboard:
EVGA 750i FTW
PSU: Corsair 750W
Case:
CoolerMaster Haf
Memory:
4 gigs
HDD:
500 gigs should do the trick
So as you can see, im pretty set on the rig, except for the CPU. Does that extra cache on the q9550 help out all that much? Ive read articles sayign ti does, and soem say it doesnt. Some say itll give it more longevitiy as game makers program their games with more cache in mind from the newer Icore7s. So...suggestions? And if somethign else on the setup isnt good, lemme know :)

If you're concerned about getting a machine that can last 5 years, then I would suggest an i7 system. This will make it easier to upgrade your CPU down the road.
