This might rather sound like a stupid question but I'm thinking of getting a new CPU, since i have a Duo one now.
Should I get a Quad or a Hexa one?
By my experience in the field, I would get a Quad because nothing and I mean nothing is optimized to run in Hexa (games, programs etc) and would cause bottlenecking, if I am correct?
What do you think?

unless your into serious video editing and your daily bread depends on it where time means money then yes a hexacore.

For anything else a quad core is fine. for gaming your gpu setup will determine your performance in fps you'll be getting. To determine what gpu to get you have to look at what's your monitors native resolution coz you'll need a gpu that can run at that resolution.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
