For the next one and a half year the major use of this rig would be only for programming, browsing, listening to music and on occasion for watching original blu-rays. No gaming whatsoever.
There are two ways i can go about this:
1) Buy a cheap second hand C2D rig. IMO it will be more than sufficient, the only qualms might be in aspect of playing blu-rays.This way i can jump on to a totally new platform after i'm done with college and hopefully buy it from own salary.
2) Go for a unlocked Phenom II X2 555 based rig.
