Thanks the reason I put i5 was I originally bout my mobo with the i5 2500k in mind as it was the the processor of choice and the best value but would certainly consider the others thanks again...

I mainly use it for COD COH & work related stuff like planning invoicing and the internet..

Nothing heavy graphics wise I would say as I am only runing a 22" monitor running 1920 1080 @ 60 hz

I originally bought the board because it was what everyone was raving about when it first came out as it was supposed to be the dogs gonads for overclocking...... how times change lol
