I would also but that is a good deal for a budget system.

The E5200 is better when overclocked but the 7850 will do much better when not overclocked or overclocked slightly.

Who doesn't overclock these days tho? The E5200 is as easy to overclock as the E8500

I don't overclock very high for customers first of all. Second of all, a processor at 3.0 Ghz+ does not necessarily need overclocking to perform well with a single GPU. Also if you factor in the extra cost of an aftermarket cooler required to overclock past 3.0 Ghz then the E5200 will be more expensive than the 7850 by a good bit, so they can't be compared.

Also the E5200 is not as easy to overclock as the E8500. The E5200 is much more sensitive about FSB, and therefor is a bit more difficult to overclock than the E8500.

Looks like the 7850 will be my new budget CPU for future builds.

Sorry if this is off topic but why not get a 7750? The only difference between the 7750 and 7850 is 100mhz and 10$.

Overclock is not easier. It is the same since both are black editions and unlocked multiplier. The 7850 was kinda retarded to release to be honest.

not saying you are retarded. Calling AMD retarded for releasing another black edition so close to the current 7750 that is basically the same chip just different multi that is unlocked anyway.
