Thank you Merlin!
Please don't spam the forums with the same question. I'd pick up a Q6600 far quicker than a dual-core. Just overclock it to the E6850s speeds.

I'd say Quad Core. Games are finally catching up...

I am not sure I'd say games are finally catching up, because the only games to really show a huge benefit are all older titles:

In these tests, BioShock, Call of Juarez, Call of Duty 2, Lost Planet, Need for Speed: Carbon, STALKER and UT3 showed virtually no difference between processors. I am unsure how X-Bit saw massive increases with Lost Planet, but I'll check it out more next time I have it loaded.

How much eggnog have you been putting away Stork?
andreich94, that system looks great. No system will ever be good for 3 - 4 years... 1 at best. Depends how high-end you want to stay. Even if you built a super-high-end machine right now, there's going to be something better next year.

Thank you Rob, what i wanted to say is that i won't change anything on this system. probably i will add 2 gb ram and a video board for sli and that's about it
Sounds like a solid idea. Those plans should still last two years. The industry moves far too fast... even when you finish building a new machine, you feel out of date.
Getting back on point, I hope that Crytek can put out a quality game unlike Crysis. It's not that Crysis was bad, on the contrary it was quite good, but the first 2/3 of the game was epic and the last third was a great disappointment. The original Far Cry was too good of a game to screw up so heres to hoping that 2 is as good as the original.

Far Dry 2 is suppose to be a higher A I ( artificial intelligence ), very aggressive, a larger playing field, and different weapons. Such as a flame thrower. The game engine will be a t a higher level.
Looks pretty awesome.... a game to wait for like Crysis.
Seems Crytec and ubisoft had a falling out and now it's back to Far Cry.
I loved the first Far Cry....played it over and over, and still found things I had missed the first time.
