Ok so soon I will be hoping to upgrade to the i5, assuming www.scan.co.uk will let me have finance. The pic is what I am planning on getting unless something else appears on the site within the next 2 months or so. It will be under stock cooling until I sell my current mobo, CPU, & RAM to go towards a 240 radiator set-up in my HAF932. So what do you guys think? It's tempting to go for an i7 since this will be a buy now - pay later deal but I've decided to play it safe and stick with i5 with not cheap, but decent hardware. Please bear in mind everything will need to come from www.scan.co.uk
(EDIT: At first I was going to just get a better skt 775 mobo to O/C my current CPU but it would be a dead end option now. Is skt 1156 future proof? or is their a chance it could go down the AMD route "Skt 754 & 939" where 754 was meant for the budget end but lasted 5 mins? I really don't want to spend £130+ on a mobo that will be useless in 12months time.)
