Some components

I'm getting a few parts to put a build together. A quick question... Are there any disadvantages to getting an E8200 CPU compared to a E8500 other than clock speed? Also 2 x 500GB @ €125 in komplett is pretty good. http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=338938

I'd go for one of these tbh http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=17394&agid=689

PS... the E8500 is a fantastic overclocker..... 4GHZ+ easily attainable

Well from what i've seen the e8500 and e8400 Clock pretty much the same or pretty close anyway on the right board of course. Dunno about the 8200.
