The 5600k should be enough for most games (assuming you are using your computer to play games). Upgrading to the 8320 will give a small performance increase. Are these two CPUs your only choices or are you building a PC from scratch?

I'm getting a feeling that 8 core is over killing it a bit and not really getting that much of an upgrade for the money

1+ again haha. As much as i like intel i have suggested this cpu several times and for about $120 it is mighty good. As long as the game is made for more then two cores it will be great. Games for two cores or less likely wont need a lot of cpu power making it still a good choice.
