Right.. I wanna get a decent quality system for gaming
My budget is limited
I wanna know if there is a different between the e8400 and 500 that isnt just a slight clock increase.. as I'll be overclocking to 4ghz anyways.. is it worth the extra 50$ or so?

either will do 4Ghz but they both have locked multipliers so the e8500 would get there without having to set the FSB as high being it has the higher multiplier.
