so i was deciding weather i should get a new CPU (Q8200) or just an Xbox 360 ....reason for Q6600- I bought a new graphics card..GTA IV..new 550 Watt PSU....and a shitload of games..turns out that GTA IV doesn't even run on my E2180...pathetic..
Reason for Xbox- I fuckin love halo 3....i can't go a week without playing it (sisters boyfriend has one i play a lot xD) and having the xbox means i won't have to upgrade all of the hardware in it..obviously..lol
actually. it depends on what you like. xbox live is fun when you have actual friends. but umm... if you dislike 9 year olds all over the place, then i suggest staying away.
a Q8200? meh, how much are you willing to spend. the Q6600 runs hotter since it's 65nm but it overclocks a lot more. Personally I wouldn't buy a 65nm CPU, but it really depends on your budget.

50 makes an excellent point. Both if you could get the moneh. But since you just got a bunch of games I recommend going for the new CPU.

agreed, if you're a heavy pc gamer and already have a lot of games, you're going to have problems (WHY CAN'T I FUCKING KILL ANYONE?) with analog sticks. but if you love sports games, then the xbox 360 is great for just that.

Get a Q9450 or Q9550 if you can they are better then the q8200 but if you would like a Console get a PS3 I have both PS3 and XBOX 360 and the PS3 is much better.
what ever you would feel like you would game on more, get it. i heard GTA4 was coded so fucking bad, so it may possibly still not play so well with a q6600/q8200 and just a 9800gt. (anyone who has actually played gta4 with such a setup can correct me)
and hikaruchan, why would you spend so much on a cpu that's inferior to the corei7? :/

well Core i7 920 would be the right choice if you go i7 for the money with
the Q9550 is too much money. I have the Q9400 and I can say that you probably wouldn't want it with a 9800GT. If you want a quad Q6600 or Q8300 is the way to go. You can also get an E8400 and do a nice overclock off of it.
And I love Halo 3 very much too, but you shouldn't spend $300 on an Xbox just for one game. I would just buy a cheap used Xbox 360 and Halo 3 for about $150.
