You can get intels e5x00 cpu's up to 3.4ghz very easily on a budget board like the g31 & on the stock cooler - the 'lucky' chips can get up to 4ghz.
At that speed you're looking at e8400 performance (faster in some cases where cache is less required).

Thats fantastic to know!

Get the OCUK Pre-Built one. Better than the intel setups as the mobo supports all the latest AMD Chips for a future cheap upgrade.

It's AM2+.

Check CPU Support list.

An overclocked budget wolfdale chip is still more than enough for most games.
