Im out of the loop with hardware tbh, Ive not looked at any cutting edge hardware since I last upgraded over 2 years ago and the idea of spending hours twaling performance hardware sites dosent hold the appeal it once did lol
I currently have a skt 939 X2 4400+ running at 2.6 GHZ with 2gigs of ram which tbh dos me fine as the only game Im currently playing is WoW, but recently I have been getting 1 or 2 memory errors, so seeing its so long since I upgraded last and rather than go down the route of just replacing the ram, its time to upgrade the CPU (with a decent cooler), mobo, ram to something a bit more modern

Im looking to spend around 500 quid altogether.
From the small amount of research I have done a Core 2 Quad Q6600 looks like dam fine "bang for the bucks" or would I be better going for a faster Duo core chip like the Core 2 Duo E8400 seeing I dont really do anything to warrant having 4 cores over 2 and they are around the same price??? I will be OCing btw, nothing extreme just with air.
Im totally lost on mobos and Ram (thinking 4gigs for the ram) while I want decent spec and performance, I dont want to pay threw the noise for it

I plan on keeping my current graphic card (single 7800GTX) for now and my sound card (Audigy 2ZS) will I need a new PSU? I currently have a 550W OCZ, am I right in thinking when you start adding 2 or 3 graphics cards you have to really start upping the wattage of the PSU???
Thanks in advance
