I am looking to upgrade my CPU (and other things) mainly for gaming. Debating between the 5400+BE or the 6000+.
Should I get the 5400+BE and overclock it to around 3-3.2Ghz? or the 6000+ at 3-3.1Ghz?
The 6000+ comes in the Windsor and the Brisbane. If the 6000+ would be a better choice for gaming, should I go with the Windsor or Brisbane? I know the Brisbane runs cooler, uses less power, and overclocks better, but which version would be better for gaming? The power usage and heat is not that big of a issue for me. I am just wanting which ever one would be better/faster all together.
I plan to do a "lil" overclocking on either one that I choose.
