    I am going to order a new desktop from komplett next week and just wanted opinions on the following two specs. I will be using the computer in my home office for work and also for photo editing and gaming.
    Should I consider core 2 duo or stay with the quad ?, I need the pc to last for a few years

    It depends on the screen you have. If you have a standard 17/19" monitor go with the first one. Same with if you are only a moderate gamer.

    If you have a bigger screen and play alot of newer games go with the second one. Dont worry about adding in a x-fi sound card to the second, i just moved from a x-fi to realtek HD onboard sound and i cant tell the difference at all. Onboard sound really has got better over the last few years.
