I plan to use this computer for heavy gaming. A few MMO's with pretty high requirements. My question is...how much will the processor affect gaming. I can overclock it...at leat..i will learn how to and attempt.. But..origionally i was going to go with the 3700+...now im going 3500+...will there be a noticeable preformance difference? Should i wait, save up a bit more..and buy the 3700?
 
Whil having the same clock speed, the 3500 has half the cache. I'd say it'll be fine for gaming and should overclock nicely, as it is a Venice.
 
well everything looks good.
i dont think there will be a noticable difference... the only difference between the 2 CPU's is that the 3700 has 512 more L2 cache.
 
i would say go for the 3700 as its only a few bob more and then you wont be disapointed and keep on wondering how a 3700 would be liek
 
no, 3700+ might get 15fps over the 3500+... of course, the video card will determine fps before the cpu will if your running higher qualities and resolutions.
good choice, rumor has it the 7800gt runs better under high quality than 6800ultra SLI enabled.

a few bob more?

I wouldnt get the 3700+, your only going to have a slight performance increase but you'll be paying alot more. Go with the 3500+.
