The i7 platform is a hella good time. If you go that route make sure you do it with a Classified and some good RAM. The Hyper Elpidas are out of there funk or at least the ones being sold now are. Not to say you won't blow them out as going extreme sometimes has its toll. Get some cas 8 DDR3 2000's at least. The Mushkin Ascents have treated me right. If you are going 775 then the E8600 with the Asus Rampage Extreme. This is my personal opinion.
