I would say that your a gamer? Then if I was you I'd go for the i5.

And if your serious about it, go for watercooling.

Use two lots of this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

So you can fit the big heatsink.

So would you think the heatsink would overlapp one of the memory Dimm slots??

Yes, I am a gamer, but I use the PC for everything really!!

When you want rid of that CPU/Mobo let me know lol

 

[Jony27]

is your current system struggling with anything you play/use?
that system is still very capable, i would recommend staying with it and upgrade when Ivybridge comes out, you can skip sandybridge for now

maybe get an SSD for OS and games.
