Recently been looking at building a cheapish £350 gaming system for uni, but kinda stuck coz don;t really have a clue about all the new processors that have come out recently so any recommendations or help on how to tell whats better would be great. Looking to spend up to £150 on the cpu

Looking at £350? I'd personally recommend the i5 750 Lynnfield, although I'm sure other guys on the forums can find cheaper good processors, I've had no problems with the 750 so far, and even though it's a 2.66GHz, I've been running all sort on it without any problem, for example ArmA II RTS missions are running great.

Good processor, and not too much over £100.
