a friend of mine is thinking of getting a new processor and motherboard
his budget is 20k.

Use of computer : Gaming! Gaming! Gaming! lol

if some money could be saved, great as he could get an aftermarket cpu/gpu cooler.. even if nothing can be saved not a problem
he has an aftermarket cpu cooler anyways.. just wanted to buy something new and better.

my suggestions to him were
c2d E8400
asus p5qc (just based on what i read on the site.. and it looks good as well)

as far as the processor is concerned, i have read mixed opinions.. some say that e8400 will be better .. some say better to go in for c2q.. im really confused.

please list out your suggestions with prices if possible
