Cheapest Gaming CPU??

Up until last month I was using an e8400 CPU in my gaming PC and to be fair it was easily fast enough to play every game I have played. With that thought in mind what is the cheapest CPU currently available which would match or exceed the e8400's performance in all areas?
 
from those charts and looking through benchmarks it looks as though the G860 might be equal to the e8400 also but it doesn't do HT so I wonder how much that would effect its overall gaming performance.
 
I did have the e8400 overclocked for a while but it was fine at stock speeds so I set it back to stock. If I could buy a decent new 775 Motherboard this wouldn't be an issue. :(
