I only upgrade platforms when there is a >2x increase in performance... which I do not see coming from Sandy Bridge. For me it's Bulldozer or I'm staying with this computer for the long haul.

Past upgrades:
Prescott Celeron D 2.66GHz => Windsor Athlon 64 X2 4200+ => Kentsfield Q6600 @ 3.4GHz

A i5 750 at stock settings can run pretty much run Dolphin and PCSX2 at 60 FPS at 1600x900, I can't see why you'd need anything more powerful seeing I think they're hard capped at 60 FPS anyway.

It'd be stupid at this point to get an i5 750 since you're in the US and Black Friday has already passed. There's only two more weeks until the official launch and many retailers already have this stuff in their warehouses ready to ship.

No reason to buy any Intel CPU at the moment when new CPUs are just around the corner :p

I might upgrade. First I need a video card upgrade, then I'll decide whether my Q6600 will bottleneck the new card.

My i5 will last me till 2014. I havent even OC'ed it to decent stable clockspeeds since I dont have a after market HFS and its currently pretty cold here. My idle temps on this thing is around 30C.

edit: Though I wouldve wanted to save till SB but couldnt give up on the deals.

Depending what you play...it will, probably. My e6700 is starting to bottleneck on most games. I have it at 3.3ghz and it goes 100% on both cores in almost everything, now.

I would rather wait for Bulldozer. Has anyone not noticed what happens when intel get's cocky? 1000$ processors, that's what.

AMD fanboy much? Intel has had $1000 processors since their shitty pentiums.

Or something really demanding, like Dwarf Fortress.

DO WANT. I'm upgrading from a piece of shit laptop (purchased Sept 07) that can't even run Starcraft 2 on low.

(1.8 ghz dual core with integrated graphics)

I'll be getting a 2600k with a GTX 460 1 GB card most likely so from laggy low display to ULTRA display. Can't wait...

I'm waiting until after tax return though LOLZ... cause I'm broke

So apparently Deviant from HWC picked up his 2600k and asus p67 on boxing day. He's got it at 4.2ghz @ 1.2v and max temp of 55c. Quite impressive =D

1.2 v and 55c is nowhere near frying the processor... ahh man I can't wait >,<

I just need to file my tax return and then receive my e-refunds... which probably will not get to me until February FAIL :sad face:

Is there anywhere where you can pre-order any sandy bridges processors or motherboards that are compatible with it?

If it's really able to hit 5Ghz on air alone, I will be happy to replace my E6750 @3GHz. Counting from speed alone theoretically it will be 80% faster, really great.

Although I would pending it since I might need to buy a laptop next year, my PC can wait. Really have nothing to complain on it since I do less and less gaming nowadays, SB will be an overkill for my need in the foreseeable future.

Unless if my greed for speed will beat the sane me ^^
