Which CPU?

[josh088]

Hey everyone, about to purchase the parts for my new build and I have been set on this CPU,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052

however I noticed this was for nearly $40 cheaper and it appears to be similar,

my question is for the extra $40 would I notice much difference in performance? The only high graphics intensive that will be used on the machine is World of Warcraft.

Thanks for the help

there is 1mb L2 cache difference

as far as im aware the L2 cache is important to making the cpu run quicker, it has something to do with helping reduce time to access memory (correct me if im wrong)

its up to you! i belive the e7200 will run fatsre but not a excessive amount!

yeah I saw that difference, I am just not sure how much of a difference that would be.

we'll there seems to be alot of threads on other forums asking the same question!

i would go with the e7200, it runs a little quicker and overclocks a little more according to reviews!

if your on a budget opt for the cheaper!
