If your considering cracking 5ghz.... good water cooling, 920DO and a evga classified would be the ticket.
PSU would depend on the GFX setup largely
I5 is rather new.. I havn't heard of a killer BCLK motherbord yet but I could be informed

Your PSU is a good one.. If it can handle your GFX setup I wouldn't change it.
The multi is the same on the 750 as the 920 but is there a I5 motherboard that can handle 250+ BCLK like the evga classified for I7??? It would just harm the max clocks really.. price performance would depend on how many GHZ's you want.. most people arn't planning on getting 5Ghz out of either CPU so they wouldn't consider that.

I'm just planning on a decent OC like what I have right now, didn't really push the cpu. I oc but not that heavy as I use my system for a lot of things, mainly video converting, photoshop and wow running 24/7.

I love the i7 860 coz of the 4 extra threads compared to i5 750.. but your board, I kinda need more pci slots for card extentions.

Sorry...I got a good laugh out of this. How many 920's do you really think can do 5 GHz...especially just on watercooling? 1 out of 1000? I'd bet it's closer to 1 in 10,000.

these are all of those in the family http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products...ComparisonSheet.aspx?ProductID=3160,3159,3158
...im not sure how many pci slots you need...but these may not suit you. i dont see that many just straight pci slots on P55 or X58 these days...but im sure someone will have a recommendation

nice nice ty... just not sure which way to go, I'm more of a price/performance guy... and with my current rig (check sig) dunno if i5 is a big upgrade or i7 is... as for the things I run, I do photoshop, video encoding, telnet, trillian and WoW
Nobody runs 5GHz 24/7...4GHz is pretty commom though
This. I run my i5 at 4GHz 24 Hour Prime95 Stable

I had both p55/1156/ 860 and x58/1366/920. The x58 is in my opinion, about the same price, more stable and faster and with i9 just around the corner upgradeable where as the 1156 that as fast as it's going to get for now.

I can not attest to more stable or faster since I have not had a socket 1156 setup yet. But my 920 with triple channel (which may be the reason) has the desktop snappiness that AMD has had for a while. Which I found lacking on socket 775
This is very important to me, which is why I bother to mention this purely subjective point.

Mobo - ? (trying to find a inexpensive one... Also, no plans in doing sli/crossfire, just need at least 2 pci slots)

common or common?
most are running 4 on D0's because they got the wrong motherboard and or cooling
just a example http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=618279 good water will get more then 4Ghz on a DO 24/7 with the right motherboard
5Ghz would be just benching stable anyway

It looks like all 3 did better then 250 but the 750 topped out just shy of 5ghz benching with there cooling
