Take a look here -

www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-cpu,2951-5.html

Tom's lists the E7400 a tier above the E5700. Like mentioned by Oldie above, the E7400 is a better processor for gaming. Thus, for a similar asking price the E7400 is the better deal here.

I think you already have posted a couple of threads before regarding the same query. Anyway, are you both running the same desktop composition? I mean same OS, same screen resolution. Also list if you are running an active anti-virus software in the background and may be he is not.

A 350W PSU is enough for your system. Am not sure about performance degradation but a not so good generic PSU can cause all other sorts of problems. It is recommended you change it. Get a unit from the likes of Corsair, Antec, Seasonic or XFX.
