Because in some cases, gaming for example, the X58 Chipset/CPU combo is a waste of money compared to the P55 chipset. Runs hotter =/= more power consumption =/= thus need more cooling = even more cash.

Even a i5 661 Dual core runs circles around a 920 in games.

My watercool setup wil be a i5 750 with 1 or 2 HD5850. The extra $150-200 spend on an i7 rig is better spend on extra GPU power. My rig will be somewhere between €370-390 for all WC components (Just 1 360 rad)
