Oh, ok thanks for the heads up.
From what I read the 955/965 are identical if not better than the i5 750 (in what I will be doing).
I decided to go for an HD 5770 because I found a pretty good deal for one that cost 100. I will probably upgrade it later when I get more cash but right now I don't think I do. Also I doubt I will ever SLI or crossfire, but since I got a 5770 ill go with a crossfire version of the asus motherboard. Also I had to lower my budget by about $500 because I had to lend some money to a friend who couldn't make his rent. So basically im getting

yea, that list looks good. but why do you need windows 7 ultimate?
My mistake I was looking at all of the editions and planned on getting ultimate at first but when I saw both professional and ultimate support xp mode i went to go copy the url of professional and i must have pressed the wrong key combination.
Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Full
ill probably buy a mouse and keyboard at a local best buy or something
and thanks for confirming =]

They are real games, not simulations
In some games the i5 750 is better and in some games the 965 is better. Looking at your sources just seems to confirm that. While I personally prefer Intel, the 965 is an excellent cpu that runs most games just as well as the 750.
So confused now lol from those benchmarks all I can see is the i5 destroying 955/965 and Micro Center - Intel Core i5 750 Processor Boxed 235309 is just 10 more than the 955 and 10 less than the 965, but supposedly out preforms both clock for clock. I'm not a fanboy of anything all I want is the best lol. Also could I overclock a i5 750 even though its not an extreme version or would an overclocked i5 lose to an overclocked 955/965. I hate when I can't decide....
Micro Center has great prices on Intel products.
Every cpu overclocks differently. Plus the other components you buy (mobo, memory and cooling) have a big effect on the overclockability of a cpu. Generally speaking you'll get better quality components going AMD with a budget of $700. I would move up to the i5 750 if I had $1000 and the i7 920 for $1500.
