well yeah like $1200 to $1300. i know with the market down parts are dropping prices like crazy. so i wont build until summer time, but i would want something that will last, is why i want core i7. i know i could make a really good quality Core 2 quad or even Phenom for a reasonable price but i dont want it to be supe outdated in 2 years. even though i know computers are basically outdated when released i want something to last for a little longer than previous tech so i know the i7 would be more that im looking for
Dude, if I do say so myself go for the i7 with a gtx285. I built mine last weekend and it melts faces.
