I have a BIOSTAR A880GZ motherboard, and am deciding on what CPU I should use. This is a cheap gaming build. The GPU I am looking at buying is the GeForce GTX 650. I have settled on two CPU's.

I have heard Horror stories about the 4100, but I have heard that the 965 is great for overclocking. I am going with the Stock fan and plan not to overclock. I don't want to waste money on the 965 with all of its potential. The 4100 is a default .2 GHz higher so I would have a slightly faster CPU off the bat.
Also, I will not be playing BF3, Crysis 2, Skyrim, Ect. The most CPU intensive game I will be running is DayZ, a mod for Arma 2. I play free games from Steam, WoW, Tf2, Hl2DM, Gmod, and Minecraft mostly. I just want something that can play these games for about 2-3 years at 20+ fps. Not too difficult, right? Thanks for your help.
