my new rig and FSX

Yeah, you're right about the 4400. The 4600 is faster, I guess thats why it costs more. You can check it out on this CPU chart.

If I had the choice I would still take the 4400 over the 4600 because it has more cache, the FX series are based on the Toledo core, and it will overclock higher than a Manchester.

However, you are wrong on the PSU. A quality PSU makes a big difference over a generic one. Not all PSUs are created equal. There is a better way of delivering 500W. On a generic PSU the cheap capacitors will age quickly and you will lose wattage. The rails will also have low amps and you will not have a stable system. A quality PSU will give you stable voltages, less ripple, higher efficiency, reliable power output, and longer life.

o..k... im sorry but for me a PSU is a PSU. and from electronics and physics (AS) a capaciter is a fookin capaciter. if you believe in branded capaciters then, your loss. i have had a so called "generic" PSU for 3 years never blown no capacitors have gone or anything.
so im sticking with generic ones. and at least if a 20quid one blows im not haveing to fork out 80quid for so called branded capacitors and things.

on the CPU matter. i want to overclock my CPU when i get it. hopefully to a nice stable 2.6 or around their.

so which one would the majority of u take. the 4400+ or the 4600+, which one has the better OC capability, the MOBO is also very overcloackable as my mate has one and has overclocked his CPU from 2.0GHZ to 2.8GHZ.

There are allot of horror stories with poor PSUs though. I'd buy a good one for added safety.

I mean, www.newegg.com and read reviews of cheap ones, they often fail.

You guys are making me weep! My motherboard won't accept 2 gBs of RAM!! And I've only (ONLY!!) got a 2 gHz processor!! I think I'll go play FS9; at least that runs great on my rig...

sob sob...

lol
your rig is still better than my current one. 1.5gz processor, 512mb ram. 100gig hdd,Geforce FX5500 its actualy rather poop.
