Go with the i7, better performance for just a little more cost! I can't rate anything, because i'm no good with AMD stuff, and I haven't used an i7.

The Core i7 920 doesn't cost $389 and you don't need $299 RAM either.

Core i7 920 $288.99

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 $154.99

Wow, total fail

Anyways, yea go with the i7 if you do go with the AMD you're not going to be disappointed, but you would only be spending a little more for i7.

wasn't playing anything off.

And yes of course the i7 can be overclocked, depending on your mobo (oem or retail)

If you say so

The i7's are great overclockers. Search the forums and I'm sure you will see what I mean.
