looking to build a gaming rig for the kid. ram is 8gb. video card is a 560ti. a 580 just became availble, if either of these cpu can keep up with it. already have a 1156 mb so lets keep it between these two.
i3-560
3.33GHz
L1 64kb+64kb
L2 512kb
L3 4096kb
or
i5-760
2.8GHz to 3.33GHz
L1 128kb+128kb
L2 1024kb

overall specs alone clearly say i5 for general usage.
since this is strictly gaming, looking for tested reviews to solidify end results. especially regarding minimun frame rate numbers. for popular games such as: bf3, crysis 2, metro, cod, wow, sc2.
