Hi, this is my first time building a PC so was hoping for some feedback on what I've planned. I'm not sure about going with the i5 or i7, at the moment i've picked the i5 as it suits my budget, but if it would give a significant performance boost I would consider the i7-920. Also I'm aware new HD 5xxx cards will be coming out soon, but they seem to be out of my price range so I was planning on sticking with the 4870, and maybe picking up another one around Christmas time.
I'd appreciate any opinions/advice
Thanks
