Hi, right now I am looking into an overhaul of my pc early next year (processor, motherboard and ram) Currently i'm running a overclocked q6600 and 4gb ram.

So I have been looking at the i7 920 but really whats the point upgrading £500 for 600 mhz and ok it does have a bigger cache but still not worth the money from what I can see.

I am sure many people are in the same boat in this community and want to look at what processors they could buy next year.

So what processors have the community heard about or would suggest is a worthwhile upgrade whilst keeping a good price/ preformance ratio.
 
I think the 6 core will be handy for people that deal with different types of media but for gamers the extra 2 cores will be pointless as games makers are still fully utilising 4 cores.

The amd processor seems a good choice and as someone mentioned it is likely they will require ddr3 but with that processor to not buy ddr3 would lose some life span of the computer.
