If those are the most intensive games you're playing, you definitely don't need the i7 860 (because it is fast but expensive, ~$300).

A sub-$100 CPU like the Athlon II X3 445 or the Pentium G6950 would be better choices and you save $200 with little performance difference.

What's your choice of graphics card? That matters more than the CPU.
