DUAL OR QUAD Buying tomorrow

Should i get a e8400, im going to overclock this to 3.6Ghz or should i get a Q8200, oc this to 2.8 Ghz. I going to use this comp for gaming, and maybe tiny bit of video editing. What should i get, i can't get Q6600, or Q9 series, way over budget already.

Here my specs, please comment for change

Gigabye EP45-UD3L
Zalman 9500AT
GTX 260 Core 216
WD 640GB c. BLACK
Patriot 800 mhz ram 4-4-4-12
Antec 900
Corsair TX 650

Dont go for a q8200, really no that great chips.

As it stands now, gaming only really requires a good dual core, especially if it has a high clock speed, say a e7700 (low scale) or e8600. But it will be the case that everything will be optimised for quad soon enough, even games (GTA4 being an example).

I would hold out like rosenberg1979 says and see what the price of the q6600 is like.

Go with the Quad for future proofing. People that buy dual cores now and game and multitask on their main system will be sorry. AMD is coming out with their top end quad phenom 2 955 at 3.2ghz this coming week and it will effect prices across the board. Wait and see what happens.
