Thanks guys. For €60 ($90) extra, would you go for the better processor? I'm leaning towards it, but on the other hand, if hardly any programs can use multiple processors at once... I'm not a big multitasker.

Oh, what about the video card? I'm simply looking at the best price/quality deal. I'm not a graphics whore. XFX GeForce 8600GT 512MB DDR2 PCI-E will suit me fine I guess?

The the onboard soundcard has 7.1 sound, but does it have a separate microphone plug? My current one doesn't, I have to choose for either 5.1 sound or 3.1 with a mic. They use the same plug. >_<

Oh, I also want to know how loud the cooler will be. The one I have now is quite noisy and I hate it. But I guess that's hard to say from this site.
