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 (edit: ignore that) most games are GPU-bound.
Unless you're doing CPU-intensive work, any quad-core or CPU over $100 is overkill.
