I'm currently building my first PC. I won't one for recording and editing music and some photo editing so I decided to go for the i7. Now I'm thinking of buying the CPU I'm not sure if I can afford it. I really don't want to miss out on the hyperthreading but I'm not sure if I have much choice (will find out next month.)

So my question is, does anyone use the i5 2500k for intensive music recording (multi audio tracks) and how does it hold up?
 
The hyperthreading is very usefull with audio recording/video editing which is why I want it. It's not the clock speed that bothers me, I probably won't OC either of them (maybe the i5 upto 4gHz if I get it).

All I want to know is if the i5 can handle multi tracks of audio in Pro tools?
