Processor decision... was created by Plague
Ok, so I really got to looking at the 1156 processors today. since I have a motherboard that is missing a processor.

I had been waiting for the i7 875 unlocked to drop in price, but it doesn't seem to be doing that, anytime soon. BUT I started looking at the i5 760 and I can't seem to find a big difference between i5 760 and i7 875 unlocked... other then about .13 GHz in the normal speed and .27 GHz in the turbo speed.

i5 760
i7 875 unlocked

So is it worth my waiting for the 875 or should I not waste my money get my mild upgrade done, since it will probably be upgraded again within the next year?

what do you guys think?
