Debating whether or not to upgrade...

With the discount at MC on the i7 860, I'm thinking really hard about if it's time to make the jump or not.

current setup:

E6600 @3.2ghz
nforce 680i
4GB DDR2
HD5850
X25-M 80GB


thinking about going with the 860 and asus p7p55d-e, with 8gb ram, and maybe even add a 160gb x25-m, but the main thing right now is that I'm just not sure if I should make the jump or not :/

the only heavy gaming I do on my pc these days is Eve Online, which does tax the rig pretty heavily when running multiple clients @ 1920x1200... so what do you guys think?
 
That's a nice upgrade & you should see a nice boost. Any reason you are not considering the i7 920? I believe it's $199 at MC.
 
guess I liked the power saving and turbo boost performance on the 860, not really planning on doing much other than mild OC with this rig if at all...

but what mobo would you recommend for a 920? seems like the 860 is up to $230 @ MC now
