I was under the impression that the E6550 is a much better processor then the E64000, just shy of E6600. I don't mind spending more money on the mobo if it means it will work well.
This is what I think is a good idea to run with for a new computer. Any input is appreciated. What I plan to run with this computer is from WoW, to DoW, to Supreme Commander, and of course SC2 :p. Then some FPS games on the side.
ROM: CD/DVD Player Free
