I recently had a (still) unexplained failure of my main computer. Due to how old it was a couple of parts had to be replaced to getting up and running. Following components were replaced on very thight budget : MB, CPU, RAM, HD, DVD and GPU .
I went with a Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 Ghz (I got lucky with price since it was "old") and sofar it has been sufficent for me. I'm not much of a gamer but I have SQL server and some other strange things running on my system.
So you might save a few bucks by getting cheaper CPU, a 2.8 Ghz sounds good to me :-)
But plan on getting aftermarket cooler for your CPU, Intel stock coolers are notourious for being loud.

Yours
