Not really, no

The games I play are old by gamers terms C&C etc, web browsing and genuine PC use.

I5 may do it, do you have a link?

Thanks

Anyway I'm going through the same process as you and my final choice is as follows:
- Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard (military spec - 5 year warranty)
- AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (maybe old but overclocks well)
- Corsair Vengence 1600Mhz (16mb)
Total cost approx £330

I'm sure that someone will be able to come up with a competitive Intel alternative but the above is a stonking AMD rig for the price
Thank you,
Sounds interesting, I guess a vast improvement from what I have?
