I need to know which processor is better for overclocked gaming. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 5800 (Brisbane) 3.0Ghz or The AMD Athlon X2 7850 (Kuma) 2.8GHz

I also would like to know what the best cooler under $50.00 for this AM2 setup.

Spend alittle extra. You'll be a lot happier. My 8750 went to 3.2Ghz easily

what i would like to know is why pay $10.00 more for a 7850 when the 7750 is also a BE, They both seem to hit a stability wall, from what I've heard, at ~3.0 - 3.2ghz.

^ I don't think the 7750's after the 7850 came out are BE anymore.
