As title really as i cant make my mind up what to get! I will be mainly gaming so i need one thats good for games, but i am open to suggestions to other suggestions for other processors as long as they are around the £160 price range.

What do you think? is it worth it? (and i am upgrading from an overclocked 3700+ AMD clocked at 2.9 Ghz on air) will i see a deffinate impact on games?
