Yea good idea.. I am pretty much in the same dilemma.. I have a £700 budget.. As its for gaming I am adding a top end graphic card but then soon as I add intel (even i5) my budget just goes over the top..

I did a lot of research found its best to buy AMD.. Intel is mostly the name..

Check that the RAM is the low-profile variant with smaller heatspreaders.

Definitely not that 670. I'd go for a 7970 at the special offer at the moment, it's cheaper and performs much better.

I also Found that a lot to whenever i added a I5 it totally overthrew the budget, but with a top end GPU they Get bottle-necked with weaker processors.
