The time has come for a system upgrade. I am making the switch to i7.
So far this is what i am looking at:
evga EA758-a1 mobo
ASUS 5870
Corsair Dominator DDR3
My big quandry is this: Is it worth it to pay $200+ more for an i7 940 or higher vs the i7 920? Also, any input on the other components would be appreciated as well.
