Phenom II X4 940

I was torn between this and an intel 8400. I was building a budget high performance gaming pc and so AMD was always going to be cheaper than Intel. Anyways I bought a cheap foxconn AM2+ mobo and dropped this cpu into it and at stock its 3.0 ghz. However I easilly O'C it to 3.6ghz by upping the voltage a tiny bit and used the stock cooler. With this cpu, 4gb of OCZ DDR2 800 ram and a XFX 4850 512mb gpu I get 16000 on 3d Mark and play everything (crysis, far cry 2, COD MW2) on max :)
