which would be better? this system might do some video editing, but that's all that would stress it.
would the larger cache help more than the cpu speed?

this will be going in a MSI KT3 ultra2

if you are overclocking get the 2500+
performance wise the 2700+ will perform better than the 2500+ in 90% of benchmarks (that's why it has a higher model rating)

personally i wouldn't even think twice the 2500+ is cheaper and can overclock just as high, plus it has the added cache
