i was thinking of gettin the i7 920 but:
1. it's expensive
2. i'd need an expensive motherboard
3. and expensive RAM
as you can see.. i dont like expensive
but if i buy a socket 1366 mobo.. then i wont need to upgrade motherboards because intel SHOULD start making newer.. better cpu's to go on that mobo/chipset whatever.. right?
but then again the i7 920 could be pretty overkill
right now i'm using AMD Turion 6000 X2 (laptop) and that's pretty speedy for me to be very honest. i will be using my computer for gaming (not too hardcore.. quad SLI gaming.. but just simple.. call of duty 4 or crysis etc. etc.)
i want a CPU that can last me more than 2 years.. which i think the i7 920 has a better chance of doing than... say.. the intel Q8200
