The rest of the games it should be fine as long as your Graphics card is adequate.
You can use E6700,e6600,e6400,e6300,e4700,e4600,e4500 etctells you herehttp://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=d945gclyou will also need 0032 bios version to run it.

overclock it or get another one...
if i get the e4500, will i be able to overclock it with the Intel D945GCL mobo?
My E2160 is fine for gaming so you should have no problems :D I have oc'ed the sh!t out of it to 3Ghz though :lol: but it's always my GPU which lets me down when it comes to games (8800GTS 320Mb) My ?0 CPU is still going strong. I'll get a Quad when it starts stuggling to keep up
