He wants to know how his OC 5300 compares to a more expensive stock 7XXX/8XXX series cpu.
It's hard to say given all of the possible variables, but, I would suggest running some common CPU intensive benchmarks such as the Dhrystone/Whetstone tests from SiSoftware Sandra, Kribi Bench and others. Running 3D mark vantage and some cpu intensive gaming benchmarks will also help you out in finding your OC'ed cpus place.

You can compare other CPU's with Sandra or the Vantage CPU score.

Form what i understand, cache isn't important in games so my 3.6Ghz E5300 should surpass an E8600 right?
Cache as it's importance in games, you probably have a 5 to 7% penalty going from 6mB l2 cache to 2mB.
At 3.5ghz, your E5300 can play any game. If there is something you want to upgrade for games, you are better to go for the video card than anything else.
