I myself went quad core. It future proofs your setup a little more, and for the same price I don't see why your wouldn't want 2x extra core and 2x the L2.
But that's just me of course.

I've been slowly buying this setup, piece by piece. So i really don't know the actual price.
If you were to get it all off egg, it'd be a bit over 1k.

Karma you need more RAM and HDD space. I've filled my 250gb and can't find anything to delete.

Ordered my 1TB today, time for much storage.
