i5 2nd gen is alot better than all of AMD current cpu's particular i5 2500k.

You are in the Overclocking forum so I am guessing you mean the i5-2500K. , Overclocked in a Z68 motherboard, it will beat any AMD processor if you can afford it.

There's a lot of hope among AMD fans that a Win7 patch will restore some of the hoped for speed. In that case, who knows?

you should go with z68 chipset like asus p8z68 v-pro with i5 2500k or even 2500.
