E6850 or Q6600 for Gaming

[hcclnoodles]

im building a new system and the CPU is the one thing i cannot make my mind up on. for £168 i can get a Q6600 at 4*2.4ghz or an E6850 at 2*3ghz. I will probably dabble a little in OC'ing but not much

My thinking is that the E6850 would be the best choice, would you all agree ?

Cheers

thanks

Ive just read in another post that some peeps have got the E6850 up to 4.5ghz

so with overclocking taken into consideration is 4*3ghz better for games than 2*4.5ghz ???
