If you're gaming, you don't want a quad core anyways, you want an E8400. Quads are a bit of a waste at the moment as most apps aren't able to use all four cores. Two will sit idle 95% of the time.

It's fine if you're doing a lot of multitasking I suppose.. But there aren't many people around that can claim true mulitasking usage on here.
