See man , any Core processor with more than 3.2 or 3.4GHZ will be able to eat anygame u throw at it, i mean "Anything", and for 1.5k more getting two extra cores now thats worth the investment. Ofcourse Power Consumption and all that comes into play but thats really really not a factor for choosing a processor. He already has a good Cooler so pair that with a good 120mm fan then proc will be under 60" at 100% load.
