You know the E7200 is also a good option for a 30k budget.

And FYI, real time gaming, you won't get much difference between them both, the E7200 and E8400, make sure you overclock the E7200to 3.2GHz(piece of cake) and it'll perform at par with the E8500
Overclocking requires a custom cooler, use that money to get the E8500, should prove worthy in a few months.
