Phenom or Athlon....? Please HELP!?

AMD Phenom x4 9850 @ 2.50 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 2MB L3 Cache



or



AMD Athlon II 640 @ 2.80 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, No L3 Cache



Which is better?
Well the Phenom series is considered superior to the Althon series. Also in your choices the Phenom x4 9850 has 2MB L3 Cache, while the Althon has no L3 cache. The cache is very helpful for a boost in frames for video games if your a gamer.



But still even if your not a gamer the Phenom is a wiser choice considering it is superior compared to the Althon.
