So I've been reading. And it seems my CPU is what's holding my 8800GT back. (I knew it was but not THIS much.)

I was given 150$ for my 16th B-Day.

I AM getting
-New CPU
-L4D

Now I'm stuck between three choices.
e5200
e7200
e8400

The e8400 is something I want but I probably won't have enough cash left over for L4D. So waddya guys say?

If you cant find an E8400 in your price range, I would suggest the E7200 as your next choice IMO.

E7200 if you want L4D. Good overclocker and cool running CPU.

well the E8500 isn't in your choice rang but its only $30 more then the E8400 so i think you should go for the E8500, otherwise my choice is E8400

-.- he said he probably wouldn't have enough for the E8400, and you recommend him an E8500 over it? :facepalm:

E7200. Look for some used ones in the For Sale Section, or post a wanted ad.

I would wait getting l4d and get the better proc. The game can allways be gotten later, and the cpu is something that is expensive to replace.
