I'm looking to build the best possible gaming oriented rig for Crysis Warhead on very high to run on an HD 22" monitor as well as in the future Diablo III and WotLK maxed out. I'm not sure if I should take the more ghz with the E8500 or take the quad. They are the exact same price right now on newegg.com. 189.99
