I have a few questions but first what i do.

I do video editing as well as a lot of photoshop and flash work as a web designer i do this everyday.

I also like to play the latest games and i have a antec 1200 case, a coolmaster 1000w psu and a 5850 that i will crossfire hopefully next month.

I know that because i do video and photo editing that it rules out the i5, so what is better the i7 920 or i7 860?

Also what is a good cheap mobo and ram? I want it as cheap as possible so cheap mobo max around £150 and ram around £90 max.

If possible i want a mobo that will let me overclock the processor to around 4ghz.

Please help

I wanted a i7 because of the hyper threading as i do a lot of adobe work (for web design and video editing) i will also run crossfire next month so i read that the i7 will be better for me? as the kind of things i do the hyper threading speeds it up.

Any idea what is better the 920 or the 860? and am i correct in saying the 860 uses the p55 mobo? and 920 is x58?

and thanks ajstan It looks great but i only saw it say sli does it support corssfire?
