I'm looking to upgrade a some things on my current PC in a few months and the CPU is one of them, currently an E8500 C2D. I'm trying to decide between an i5-750 and an i7-920. I'll probably be upgrading the RAM as well as a mobo that can support the new CPU and RAM. I have a 1 GB 4870 now, not sure if I'll upgrade that with the rest or not yet. It's mainly the CPU that I'm confused about. I'll be using the PC for some medium to heavy gaming probably on a 22-24 inch monitor/hdtv when I get one. I'll also use it for some light coding/compiling and maybe medium animation/rendering in the next year or two. I've already done some research and seen some differences like no HT in the i5 but it has a turbo mode? So much info out there just thought I'd post something here to see what people think about them if they own one. Price isn't that much of an issue, but only an extra $80. What the hell might as well just go for the i7?
P.S. I like to multi-task like crazy.
