Yea, I’m getting a spare 500watt 2×6 pin power supply.
So which CPU do you think I should use to play black ops? In the minimum requirements for BO it says
Processor: Intel� Core�2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom� X3 8750 or better
however, the AMD II X2 is better than the intel, but its slightly worse than the AMD one suggested.
Answer #4
The two you’ve listed work fairly the same. It’ll probably work fine on either but I wouldn’t put my money on it
Answer #5
I say E6600 Else why not go for the Athlon II X2 550 BE
Its great for overclock
For OC in Intel Dual core E5200 or later is great

The Core 2 Duo he listed is crap though for overclocking. If it’s the latter released Dual Core then it’ll be good
Answer #7
Something like a E8400.
Answer #8
AMD Athlon(tm) as it has more power, 2.8×2, intel is only 2.4×2 go amd
Answer #9
I’d go with the intel over the amd. Intel works better with Nvidia cards anyways. If you care to overclock, go with the amd, however I wouldn’t recommend it with that amd it runs hot already.
