*UPDATE*
Here are a couple of benchmarks for you guys with my new I5 rig.
Here is a HyperPi and SuperPi run at my current speeds.
Here is a 3dMark06 run. GPU clock of 650-1404-1140

So with christmas coming up and all along with the fact that my poor ole original 9850be is sadly out of date and slow, I decided it was time to treat myself and upgrade. I've been saving for a couple of weeks and decided I want to go with a newer intel system. Here are the parts ive decided on so far:
Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3R Here
Memory - Crucial 4g (2x2g) 1333 Here
Cpu - Im torn between an I5 750 or an I7 860.
Ill be keeping my current PSU and GPU card for now as well as possible watercooling in the future and overclocking. The main reason im torn between the two cpu's is deciding whether or not I want the Hyperthreading feature or not. Mostly all I do is game and I know HT doesn't help that but when Im not using my comp its usually running Seti GPU client and Rosetta CPU and im thinking HT could help with Rosetta. If this is not true please let me know and ill just go with the i5. Total price for the i5 system is just 423 and 503 for the i7.
I also picked that specific crucial memory due to its price and the review I found on Tom's showing that it did very well at 1600 frequencies.
Tell me what you think guys?
