This "crap" is noticeable slower in FarCry only. 1 MB instead of 3 MB L2 cache per core doesn't make huge difference. I've swapped E8400 for Q8400 and I'm surprised in plus by fps raise (esp. minFPS) in my games.
Man of Honour
It is crap. It's very overpriced and too cut down. The Q9450 used to sit at that price point and that had 12mb of cache. There is absolutley no point in spending £125 on a overpriced cpu on a dead socket.
Good Morning all, luckily I have had a slight increase in budget.

Looks perfect for what you will be using it for.

Very reasonable mate. I have a very similar spec and the 6850 clocks well.

Might be worth waiting a little and seeing if you can find out if that MSI board will be bulldozer-compatible. That way, you'll have a good upgrade path for the CPU if you need more performance in the future. ASUS have announced some boards as compatible with a BIOS update already.
