Thats fine but I think a E8400 is alittle over priced for what it is and not really a decent upgrade that i plan to keep for a few years.

Yea, I'd say a q6600 is probably the best upgrade from an e5200 without going to an i7, any other upgrade isnt really worth it unless you want to go i5/i7 path.
Don't go for an e8400, stick to a quad core.

Well alittle bit of a update for all that gave advice.
I bought and sold a Q6600 G0 as I was worried it not been energy efficient enough and ended up with a lapped Q9450. Installed it today and the little 150w PSU seems to be handling it all fine which im surprised about.
Heres a screenie of alittle test.
All in all pretty happy with the upgrade. Cheers everyone.
