Agreed - i5 is better bang for your buck, use the price difference on your graphics card.

Yeah you can get pre-packaged overclocked bundles from companies like overclockers.co.uk and yoyotech.

I'm using 2500K i5 which is regarded are being one of the best chips for overclocking. (Might have been superceed by now, my system was upgraded this time last year ago. Used my old graphics card until the AMD 7770 cards came out - roughly the same week as D3 coming out.)

Same CPU as me. Haven't even needed to OC yet.

Only thing I do notice on games such as Battlefield and the Sims I've only got 4gb of RAM it doesn't affect the speed but loading takes a while.

Could be a HDD issue maybe?
