    1500e is way too much imo, just over 1000e will get you everything including a 24".

    Most here will tell you to get a Quad, but I think its crazy to give 175e for now dated tech like a Q6600, overclock the dual to 3.0ghz + and you are set.If you feel the need to get a quad, get a used one on ebay/adverts for 100e.

    I and many others on this forum buy for hardwareversand all the time.They are great.
