Gaming on Pentium E6500 or Core2Duo E7500

[ujaansona]

I've a DG31PR modo & Celeron 430. I'm considering an upgrade to Dual core E6500 or C2D E7500 mainly for gaming (Crysis, Far cry 2, cod4 etc...) @1280x800 resolution with 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM & 9600GT gfx card.
E6500 costs Rs.3100 (almost $64) & E7500 costs Rs.4700 (almost $96) In India. Is the E7500 really worth spending $32 more for it? Please keep in mind i'm on a tight budget.

on such a tight budget, and low resolution. probably not.

the 7500 is a fair bit more powerful, but the 6500 should do what you need, and save you a fair bit.

Only a bit difference (1 MB L2 cache) of them...
If u really mind about money then take the cheapest of them. which mean E6500...

And really overclock it.

And really overclock it.

It's a DG31PR Board & can't be overclocked, right?

But the Circuitmaker Pen costs about Rs.800 to Rs.1000 i.e. $15 to $18 here.
