how much is q6600 now is it worth from upgrading e6750 that i am using right now. so should i stick to it.

The Q6600 should be just a shade under 10k.
A quad-core obviously packs in more horsepower than a dual-core. Whether you should upgrade to it, depends on the kind of apps you run and whether they scale well with multiple cores.

but whichever game needs more proccy power that will be optimised for 4 core..that is going to happen...atleast i believe..

When ?? After 6-8 months ?? that time Nehalem will be mainstream, and 40% faster than current Yorkfields. So dont plan too far, buy best in todays date, nothing favours Quad except Unreal engine right now. Currently any CORE architecture CPU @ 3.2 or above aint any bottlenecck for any single GPU solution.

I am postponing my purchase due to price cut & non availability of parts.

Hope the price cut from intel is effective soon

Folks what is the main difference between ,

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
and
Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H

any Price and performance difference?

After price cut how much is the E7200 expected to retail for?
and Does Athlon X24800+ supports 1066 mhz memory modules?

Hey if you can increase your budget littile above 4K you can bag World's one and only CM 690 @ 4250/- for SMPS I again vote for Extreme Power 600 Watt @ 3400 but again suggestion is to go for true power like Real Power Pro 550 W as your card is 9800!

I am planning to buy Asus P5Q Pro, and Processor Q6600
I am also buying ATI HD4850 GPU
So what i want to know, is extra powered SMPS is really needed
If so how much what watt would be better. I am not planning to add another GPU as cross fire as of now. So power supply for one card is enough for now.
So what will be best SMPS if I need it and how much watt.
Also I want to know is there big diffrence between normal cabinets and cooler master cabinets and is there any advantage. Please reply, because i am planning to purchase system this week itself
