I would keep the AMD rig and get a 965BE if you can, its a really nice chip. Just uploaded all my runs on the bot today and was pretty happy with the results for a first time AMD over clocking noob.
I7 benching is gonna be pretty hard to do these days as there are so many scores in there now. Going to really have to think about LN2 and a nice chip to get up there in ranking now.
But heres the deal with HWBOT, don't even try to make it to top 10 as there are so many ES and Cherrys entered in there now its a game over thing. Look at the Core I7 965XE results. My retail chip is hard pressed to make it past 5.0ghz, I have used 2 retails actually and both dont come close to those scores on the bot.
Most important tho is to just have fun and push yourself to learn better over clocking, I have a very long ways to go at that, but I have fun along the way
