But that's just because het X58 is really really good! You also got triple channel memory buffering witch is very nice especially if you go like video rendering and got a lot of stuff to compute Not that i make movies but i saw you guys have a video of the week. In which you guys compete @ making video's about black ops.
bottom line is get what you can afford, the i7 are great but at the moment there is no game out there thats needs all this power to run, and when 1 does come out the price of the hardware will have fallen dermaticlly.top end i5 are great too,
someone here said something about sandy bridge not being all that. He is so wrong...the 2nd gen i7 is absolutely brilliant. when overclocked (which has become so easy now), it is on par with i7 970 top end. and its just 30% of the price.krisis dunno if you know this amazing benchmarking site for cpu and vga cards. if u dont, please do take a look to see how amd does rate on top end. it is not all that pretty i'm afraid.just select which category you want to view.here:http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ hope that helps.my rig:cpu: intel i7 2600kmb: asus p8p67ram: corsair vengeance 16gbgpu: gigabyte gtx 460
