why exactly i5 ??

the overall platform will cost a lot and wont even make much of a difference at 1024x768 (max resolution of your display)
 
I will buy 26inch LCD in feb 2010. so its just temporary arrangements monitor.

i choose i5 bcoz i read artical in anadtech site that it is best VFM.

^^ it is best vfm as a processor but total platform costs a lot since most boards based on socket 1156 are still around/above 10k

wait till some competition brings the prices down to ~6k and then it may feel vfm.

vfm was defined and compared to price and performance of existing i7 platform by AT imo.

are you planning to add any gpu later?? any particular if so?? or budget for the same ?
 
yes i m planning to buy GPU at later stage but not decided now.
I m not clear. are u telling to wait for market stabilization ?

my intention for i5 is mainly DDR3 support and overall speed. please suggest/comments.
