ok i got a amd phenom II 3ghz processor is it worth upgradeing to i5 or i7? or is there anything new coming out?
 
Well at mo i have phenom II 3ghz @ 3.45 with 8gb ddr2 1066 ram and asus m3a79-t deluxe mobo and a xfx 4890 on a 24" monitor, I would use for gaming and video editing aswell as web design so photoshop and Dreamweaver aswell, but my plan was to update my system to i5 or i7 with 2x 5870s or wait and see if the 5870x2 is true or the 5890.

I thought i read that the i5 and i7 walks all over the amd phenom II 940 processors?
 
Thanks and soz if i confused some of you mine is the x4 940 quad and does anybody know when the six core processor for AM3 is out?

I want to build the best and quickest pc i can as i've always stuck with cheap but good, so the i7 does seem to be better but then if i wait for amd i would get that and then intill will being out something better so you cant win lol you can never have a kick ass pc longer then a few months lol

and thanks for your posts, but if i was to upgrade to a i7 what mobo would you have?
