Go for the Phenom x2 550 its a Black Edition and if gaming is the priority then you don't need more than a Dual Core hyeah:

Also later you can unlock as well as over clock this lil' monsta pretty well

coupled motherboard Gigabyte GA 785GMT USB3 awesome unlock potential

Aren't the latest games Like Bad Company 2 optimized for Quad Cores?

^^

But still the fps will be limited to the GPU, unless you have a HD 5850 or above. And if you can afford HD 5850 for gaming, then definitely you can afford a better proccy

Bro they are but all in all the known advantages are no more than 5%, so might as well buy a processor that can be unlocked as well as has a better over clock potential as well as unlocked multiplier so might as well spend 500 guineas extra get a Black Edition processor, unlock it Quad Core hyeah:

Also what is the price of the Abysuss

Also what is the price of the Abysuss

I bought it for 1600 Bucks from Amarbir (Lynx India). Great Mouse BTW.

Can anyone tell me how good the Q8400 Inter processor is? For gaming?>

If u r going for HD4850 or GTS250 then X3 435/440 would be enough.....

But in my experience, Graphic cards are upgraded more often than a processor. So that should not be the only criteria.

If you look at my system specs you will see that I will have to upgrade Proccy+Mobo+RAM+Graphic card to get any visible improvements in games. If I had bought a faster processor than was necessary for my graphic card at the time of purchase, my upgrade now would have been a lot cheaper (and posible in my current financial position).

one more thing if u let me know.......which mobo (no ASUS) MSI or something else would be good for amd processor??? around Rs.3500/- or less?????????
