I paid $169.99 for a Q9550 last week and with the i5 coming out at $179.99 it's tempting to return the Q9550 and go i5. Though, I'd have to get a new motherboard and RAM. I could sell my current setup (E3110, an E8400 Xeon, Gigabyte P45 UDR3, 4x1 GB OCZ Gold PC-6400) and recoup probably $200 and only be out $150 or so. I do 95% gaming, and currently have a GTX 260 192. I play at 1920x1200.
Thanks.
