What are you looking to spend? Im considering upgrading to an 1156 i7 for a 2:12 RAM ratio even though they generally don't seem to clock as well as my i5 760 which does 4.0 at 1.29v (1.31 in BIOS). I bought it new at MC about 5 or 6 months ago, IIRC.

I think it's worth around $160 shipped. Used i7 860 and 870s are going for $220-$240 at eBay, for the record.

P.S. Cool avatar.
