Hi folkes,

My mate is about to get a new combo of Ram, Mobo and CPU. What is the best CPU for about £150 please?

i3 , or Yorkie, or Wolfie or something else?

He'll use it to play games and look at naked ladies on the internet. No encoding or comiling or anthing like that.

Cheers in advance.

There is no point buying a dual-core for gaming now. He wants a £150 gaming CPU so an £80 dual-core isn't what he wants
 
For me personally get the i5 750. Its clearly capable of going 4ghz or close enough. Nothing else for gaming is going to touch it.

To be fair for pure gaming purposes the Phenom is about the same, in fact it outperforms it sometimes at higher resolutions.
