cpu help

[Catalan]

looking to upg my comp, but having issues picking out a cpu. it's a $50 difference between the e7200 and e8400. i really just plan on playing wow, mp3 player, web browsing, basically basic stuff. im leaning towards the e7200 cause itll probably play wow fine and i can just OC it if need be, but idk. thanks

other parts im ordering

abit ip35e
gskill 2x2gb 8500
wd 250gb sata hd

The e7200 will do everything you want. OC it to >=3ghz and you'll be golden. Easy OC too.

Its your $50

From what I understand the E7200 hits 3.7 - 4ghz on air without too much trouble, but the e8400 is a bit faster and has a higher ceiling... I guess it depends on how crucial you think that 50 bucks is. Your ram can handle the lower multi.

Both should be fine

yeah $50 isnt really much, but that's like $50 dbl cheeseburgers
