definitely appreciate the help.

question though on the processor, everyone seems to be in love with the i7's. you think its just overkill or the i5 just a much better price point?

 

[Niklas_13]

most of your FPS come from your GPU not your CPU, there are tons of posts about i5 750 vs i7 920 for gaming http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=i7+920+vs+i5+750+for+gaming&start=10&sa=N&fp=3d121c88310e67e3

[Niklas_13]
