New computer, Worth the money?

[Autosaver]

I don't think you should get a quad-core. Unless your a huge gamer, you shouldn't spend so much to surf the web.

Dual cores usually have a higher clock speed, and most games don't support multi-threading. They're better for gaming.

Really?!?! Yeah, for whatever reason(I use dual core) I found out my clock speed was close/higher then his. And I didn't know about the games.

So Dual cores are cheaper, get them and you can play all the games you want. :D

Well i do like gaming, but i dont want this PC mainly for gaming, if i did, i would buy a gaming PC.

But $800 is a lot of money for me.
Where would i go to buy individual computer parts?
The store bought PC's have expensive stuff i dont need, like blue ray players, high end CD burners, and useless programs.

Does a place exist where they sell individual computer parts, like mother boards, video cards, processors, etc...
Ether a store or a website..

I dont spend the majority of my day on the computer, but it gets annoying when you cant play any new games cuz your computer is old...lol
