Intel® - Quad Core Q8300 (Socket 775) 1333FSB - 4Mb Cache - Retail Boxed with Heat si

I would also recommend the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme for the CPU cooler if you look into overclocking.

That's unfortunate, Q9400s are around £110-120 on eBay.

Both CPUs would allow you to max the settings on MW2 I think provided you have a capable graphics card.

Hmm, I'm going to take a risk and get the specified processor on Thursday unless Cex get one in tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice guys and Chris:

That's what she said!

But yeah, that thing will certainly knock 10c off the stock cooler, my stock cooling (this is both with stock clocks) was around 50c, got an OCZ Vendetta 2 and now it runs nice and cool around 25c, only about 4c hotter than the ambient room temp

I'll post pictures of my mb etc once I have finished with the upgrades, I might buy that cooler thing, my motherboard has a meaty pipe with 2 "radiators" on it... just learnt a lesson to not touch it as soon as you turn your pc off.

I'm going to buy those fans that light up tomorrow, they cost £5. :)

Going to buy this when I get the chance:
