Intel i5 processor, which one to go for

Hey,

After a week or so of deliberation I have finally come across a spec that I feel will lastme a while and will be good for what I need to use it for, which is some gaming (diablo 3 mainly and maybe a mmo) and just general browsing and word processing and hd video watching.

So the last part I need help with is the processor. Do I go for the i5 2430m Or the 2520m. I will be having 8gb ram btw. Just there a price difference but as. I won't be a massive heavy user is there a big difference between the two? That for me would justify the extra 50 ish pound

Regards

Chris

Just thought be good to mention the laptop I am ordering is the enigma III 540 so8gb ram is highest I can go for, dunno if this additional info is relevant

Given that you're ordering 8GB of RAM the system would be better balanced with the 2520M processor. I would opt for the 2520M (or higher) and 4GB RAM over a 2430M and 8GB RAM.
