I recently sold my i5-2500 and Intel H67 motherboard. I then bought an H55 motherboard and an X3430 as replacements. I overclocked the Xeon to 3.86Ghz and I seem to have matched the multi threaded score I was getting with the i5-2500. I did not record the fps when I still had my i5-2500 but do you think they're the same in terms of gaming performance? The videocard I used for both the i5 and the xeon setup is a Radeon HD 7850 2GB.

Why did you downgrade to the Xeon? You basically have double the power consumption for the same performance. Not exactly great bang for the buck.

It was an intentional downgrade and the $8 price tag of the X3430 really lured me in

In a year, your CPU will have cost more in electricity than what you saved on downgrading, but ok :P
