I'm changing my old and crappy E6300 (1.8Ghz)
I have the choice between an E7400 and an E6850 (second-hand. Both at the same price: 40€).
For specifications see here:

for performance, see here:

knowing that I mainly aim for performance gain in games. This processor will be partnered with an ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU/2DIS/1GD5 graphics card and 4GB of DDR3 OCZ PC10666 Gold Edition
I already have my little idea of the pros and cons but I would also like your opinion
go go go and thanks in advance
