Twilight princess is extremely demanding.
I second the 4670 motion, but, because of your budget, I'd go with the Xeon version if I were you. I don't know the model number of the Xeon that corresponds to the 4670, but someone who is Intel-ligent might be able to tell you. The Xeon version is less expensive, and has various "Xeon-only" features, but cannot be overclocked.
DJBarry, with a budget like that, I'd never recommend to get a 4670k. Unless it's magically less than $200 before tax and shipping in the United Capitalist States of Magic Pricing (which it wouldn't be after tax and shipping), he won't be able to afford it even before taking into account taxes and shipping.
Actually, now that I think about it, any variant or equivalent of the 4670 will be rather expensive on your budget. The 4570 looks like it's right-on BEFORE shipping and taxes, but it'll probably be over-budget afterwards, if US electronic taxes are even a quarter as ruthless as Canadian electronics taxes (can I get a 25% price increase on anything that has or is a power supply, on top of the pre-existing 14% increase for existing and the 5% tax for being an electronic device?*).
*= I don't know the actual figures, but it's pretty ridiculous.
