Nice.

Im still wating to take the step to I7. Mainly due to cost, but also cos my setup does everything i want it to do at the moment.

Are you into overclocking at all?

Well I wasn't planning on spending the money but I built a beast 3 years ago but finally bought a game last week that it couldn't run on max settings :p

I am hoping to get it easily clocked to 4ghz and then above once I get my cooling sorted :D

Thats pretty much how i gauge my PC.

Got a Q6600 @ 4Ghz and 8800GTX all watercooled at the moment and its coping pretty well with new games.

Well back in the day when I built this machine 3 years ago I used 3D mark 05 and got to 23rd in the table I think it was :D
