I already own the HD 4870 and I am looking for an Intel CPU to accompany it, an E7200 is as far as my budget will stretch it, I am obviously willing to OC it to its limits. After using AMD for the past 7 years im not as well read up on Intel as I would like to be, would this be a decent cmbination?
HD 4870 and E7200 Good Combination

overclocked E8400 160$ (newegg) is just like 5-7fps max under E8500 4.3ghz OC. that is worthing 180$ instead of 160$ is sibling at 3.0ghz stock just to help you find the right cpu
so you don't pick the wrong one Topic Creator And don't have to do a D'oh remix song after buyed the wrong cpu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU8WwZpI-i8

save 40$ more buck for E8400 at 160$ instead of E7200 at 120$

seriously showing unreal 3 wtf? 117fps vs 150fps no one will see any difference
the e7200 is fine, and you wont notice any difference in basicly any game except crysis where the e8xx will be noticably better

and the other review was with overlcocking it show it can add to +10 fps to +35fps overclocking a cpu

just saying for 40$ more you get allot of more performances
or look crysis more game like crysisi will appear by 2009 in graphic need power it just a part of reality and evolution
