The iFIVES won't have hyperthreading, but the i5 equivalent of the i7 920 performs almost exactly the same for $199 instead of $280. But you must also realize that all i5s are NOT going to overclock as well as the i7s because the i7s are meant for the enthusiast while the i5s are meant for the mainstream. If I remember correctly, the i7 and it's server counter-part are the only ones getting the 6-Core CPUs, while the i5 is going to be Dual and Quad cores. The i5 though will start off at 45nm while the 45nm i7 counter-part will come later.

What kind of video card is it coming with? 3-4GB of RAM will be just fine, gaming relies more on the video card though.

[QUOTE="markop2003"][QUOTE="kilerchese"][QUOTE="markop2003"]^^^ That power supply is way over the top, reduce it down to a 750w for SLI or 600w if you don't need SLI.

Not really if he goes TRI-sli later on and wants to OC some. No point in getting a high end system if you don't OC.

Even for tri SLI that's a huge amount of power. When TECs appear more then it may be necessary but until then you'd struggle to use 1200W in any desktop computer.

I always like to look forward to future upgrades. Like for my i7 920 rig I bought a Corsair HX1000 even though I only have one 4870 X2, but when I get the money I plan on getting another. I'd rather have what I don't need ATM instead of only having the minimum. Because if I had only gotten a 600 or 750w PSU with my PC I would of had to upgrade my PSU has well. Also, 3 GTX 285s, max power draw, 51 amps. Then we also got DX11 video cards on the way....
