Can anyone spec me an i7 rig + i5 so i can compare them to make up my mind. Budget of 1K - Will need OS as well.

It will be used for gaming + encoding

Cheers

Cheers for the spec guys, and I won't be needing 12 GB of ram, I think 6GB is enough. I will be gaming at High resolutions 1900x1200 + with everything MAXED out with the games of Crysis, Arma II + DX11 titles whenever they are out. Basically, I would want this system to be fast when encoding and using CPU intensive programs.
