Can anyone advise me about these CPU's.

I've narrowed it down to these two, but I'm just don't know if the price difference would be worth the performance difference.

I would like to overclock, but I've only specced a A7 cooler atm for use in an Antec P182. Would a TRUE or Tuniq fit, and would this make much of a difference over getting my money's worth out of one of the above.
 
The E8600 will generally overclock better as it is on the newer revision. It isn't worth the difference in price though imo. I would wait for the E0 E8400/8500 to come through.
 
Totally agree with Duke. The E8600 is not worth the price premium. Some people on here have already recieved E0 stepping E8500's in orders.
