please don't post questions like this in a stickied guide if it's not directly related to the guide.

for gaming performance of these two processors the 650 should win. the Pentium D 805 has it's uses but at stock speed it is not great for games. do you have an option to use anything else?

Just what I was thinking. The Core 2 Duo E6400 is cheaper and is quite a bit more powerful.
