I'm ordering a new pc tomorrow. I am looking for any tips as to what I should get (considering it will be a machine for FS only). I am out of touch as to what processors are better. I am looking at 3 possible choices in my price range. Intel® Core™2 E8400 (6MB,3.0 GHz, 1333FSB), Intel® Core™2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.40GHz,1066FSB), or Intel® Core™2 E8500 (6MB,3.16 GHz, 1333FSB). Which one, if any, would work better for FS2004 and FSX (haven't upgraded yet)?
The rest of the machine I am pretty sure on but CPU's have changed since I ordered my last Desk Top (4 years)
Thanks for any tips.

When I upgraded my PC (last Fall) I went with E8650, IP35Pro m/b, 4 GB RAM, single 8800GTX. Was considering an SLI setup with 2x 8800 GTS, but after weighing its pro's and con's (tricky issues with power supply, heat dissipation, m/b layout) I went with a single video card.
