Click to expand.I have not heard that. In fact I have heard just the opposite. It is my understanding that modern video cards in PC games are not CPU limited. Overclocking the CPU has very little real world benefit. I have also heard that games hardly take advantage of two processing cores. Let alone four. So, I just went for cheap clock-rate and I think it will turn out fine.

I am building a mini-itx system with a video card that is known for being hot. Let it be the only thing in there that makes excessive heat. It's correct in principle, but not in practice. The Core i3 dual-cores are not half of a Core i5 quad-core. Core i5 dual-cores are.

The i3 and i5 architectures are quite different, and even at the same clock speed, the i3s are much slower, especially in games. In extreme cases, a Core i3 can be limited to 30fps where a Core i5 quad will get not 60, but as much as 105. No matter what you hear, quad core optimised games are quite common now, and dual cores are starting to get left behind. For instance, the battlefield 3 alpha was basically unplayable on any dual core CPU, including overclocked i3s, but ran perfectly on most quad cores, including the antiquated Core 2 Quad.
