The athlon 64 3800+ is the better cpu. If you dont mind the money I would proberly get the 3800+. In most gamming benchmarks I seen you get anywhere from 5 to 25 more FPS from the athlon 64 3800+. I am pretty sure the athlon 64 3800+ is the top cpu you can buy with out getting a athlon fx or athlon 4000+(which is based on the athlon 64 fx-53) and the fx series or 4000+ is quite a big price increase.
