Alright I decided it was finally time to jump ship to the Intel side with the current prices being so good. Now I just need to figure out what cpu will suit me and my budget best. I do plan on doing some moderate overclocking but nothing to extreme.
My current CPU is an AMD Athlon X2 5000+ BE at 3.0ghz so I want to get something that is going to give me a huge performace increase. I plan on using everything thats in my system specs. Just changing the board and cpu. Here is the motherboard I will be using:

So here are my current cpu options that I am looking at:
e5200 - probably not going to give a huge increase
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072
e7300 - maybe. What do you guys think?

e8400 - huge increase but a q600 is just a little bit more...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037
q6600 - This is what I really want but way more than I want to spend.

So what do you guys think would be the best cpu for my setup? Maybe a different one? Also do you think the intel prices are going to drop anytime soon with the Phenom II coming out so soon?
Thanks!!!
