just a question more than anything as i have not followed hardware since i built my computer back in the spring...

whats the big deal with these i7's? why not get something like a q6600? isn't that a lot less expensive and still a perfectly capable cpu? then you aren't as limited in mobo and ram decisions right?

i mean if sims 3 is the main thing its going to be doing, (aside from normal stuff) why push the envelope so much? am i missing something? it just seems like its an awful lot to spend on a machine thats not going to be a dedicated gaming rig or photo/audio/video editing machine.
