I say take a gamble with the 555BE and possibly get a quad core. I did and I won 4cores at 3.4ghz w/o any overclocking.

+1. It's also an insanely good overclocker. Just ask 87dtna, he's owned us all at SuperPi with the i3s. Also, with the i3, you have the option of upgrading to something like the i7 875k in the future.The i3-540 is faster clock to clock.
