2. As I also stated, Microcenter has i5's for 150$ out the door, I Couldn't pass that up myself, especially for the huge performance boost it gives over AMD. 

In games, any CPU >= X2 250/X3 435/E6300/Q8200 is 'good enough'. Unless you're at very low resolutions or running graphics more than three years old, most games are GPU-bound.

Unless you're doing CPU-intensive work, any quad-core or CPU over $100 is overkill.

GPUs are starting to be bottle necked heavily by lower end processors recently. The only processors to NOT bottleneck the top of the line cards, and those coming out after are the i7's. 



The Halo francise is the most overrated bland game to ever hit the console market. It provides a bad name to all FPS that even showed effort at creating an original entertaining plot.

I probably have more ps3 games than you :/
