Hi,
I am planning to get a new pc... and for the processors i have narrowed it down to phenom ii x3 720 and core 2 duo e8400. There are threads at various forums dealing with the same issue. However, most of these were started by users into gaming or who were planning to overclock their processors. I am not a gamer and wont be overclocking either, just want the best processor for my budget(consider it to be sufficient for e8400).
I am inclined towards the 720. But how much of a difference
i)will the higher power consumption make? (a general idea - considering both longevity and extra cost due to extra consumption )
ii)will the lower clock speed make?
Thanks
