Welcome! The question you are asking is quite common. First thing I suggest to look at is the SIMILAR THREADS section below. Specifically the first thread.

Outside of that, with a 1090t in your hands I would hold off until IB and see what it has to offer. If it isnt any better than SB, then go with SB.

I upgraded my 1090T to a BD FX-1850 and happy I did. I was hoping for more power, but I'm perfectly stable at 4.8 now and since the upgrade I have no doubt beaten you many times on NFS ;>)...

All kidding aside, I think waiting is a good idea, unless you're kinda like I am, gotta have fun when I have a few bucks I can spend.

Something like the i5 2500K is a fine chip, the i7 2600K even better, but there is nothing wrong with the 1090T which is also a fine chip, your not getting a massive performance increase by going Sandy-Bridge now.

I would wait a year and see how Ivy-bridge or the up-coming 10 Core Pile-Driver perform, either one, or both might be better.
