I would go with a Q9400 or above maybe Q9550, what are the rest of your system specs?
Yeah you mite want to go to the higher end of the quads as that processor you have is still quality. If you overclock it the performance is close to par with the Q9550.
Check this Benchmark comparison

I definitly want a Quad core. no amd of course.
ive a ati radeon 4870 with 1gb gddr5 ram. 2GB RAM from corsair (xm2) and PSU with 525W from enermax.
I dont want to do hardware overclocking cause i loose then guarantee. the only thing i do is software OC with my GPU.
I'm using one of those e6850's - v good chip ....

everything is watercooled, had it sat at 3.6GHz 24/7
If i was you Laz, I would get some more RAM in there first. What OS are you using?
The RAM is no prob. all I need are 2 more GB. that will be around 20€.
If OS is what I think (Less english pc vocabulary knowledge for me), its Win XP SP3
