Its not like I have all the money right now as I just bought a HD5870, but I would like to upgrade my Q6600 within a few month. But I cant decide if I should get a i7 or i5. i7 would allow me to get used stuff so its about the same price as the i5 setup Iam planing
My cooling is
RX360 with 3 GT15
Swiftech 240 with 2 GT15
This cools both gfx and cpu.
The 2 setups would be:
i5: i5-750, EVGA Classified FTW, 4 GB G.Skill Eco
i7: i7-920, Asus Rampage ll Gene, 6GB Patriot Viper DDR3 PC3-12800 CL8
The price would be about the same as I can get the Gene for abit over 100$ but I just wonder if I would be able to overclock the i5 much higher because its 32nm and the classified mb.
But with the i7 Iam much more futureproof and can get the hexacore when it comes in a none extreme model.
Also considered just waiting for AMD Thuban and getting that + FX890
