2) Would it be worth upgrading to an i7 920 ontop of that, and ocing that to 4.0 GHZ...will that give me a decent FPS boost when paired with a 5850/5870 when compared my current overclocked CPU? What I mean is
E8.4k will bottleneck 5xxx series cards - ive got a set up like that.

Like ppls say no point going for iX CPU's - better buy something like Q9XXX - im planing buy one and OC it.

My ASUS 5850 runs at 1050/5000 1.3V so there still planty room.
