That one. With some luck it will come cheaper at some other place and be under 200$. Depending on overclocking or not, the 6000+ from AMD might be worth looking into for 160$ or so, the e6550 costs 160$ too, but with the 7 multiplier will only overclock to 2.8ghz with ddr800 without having to overclock the ram/adjust timings. Overclocking will also require an aftermarket cooler.

But when I think about it, the e6550 should be PLENTY fast at stock speeds for games out there.
