But he wants a 1366 which is an entirely different beast, my advice to the OP is if you want 1366 your going to have to spend a lot more $$$ the cheapest i7 is the 920 which is $300 and most motherboards run about 200-300 depending on what brand/feature set you like and Tri-memory channel kits 6GB run another $200

Those are some good upgrades but I will not go that route yet. Anyways, there is no game out there that requires so much specs. I mostly play FPS games such as (BF2142, MW2, Crysis) in max settings.

Since my mobo and cpu are about 2 years old, that is one of my main reason for upgrading to something better and newer.

Are these better than what the mobo and cpu I currently have now? Is it worth it?
