[QUOTE="DarkAngel, post: 1306033, member: 25187"] I dont think there is any processor named i5 520. There is i3 530/i3 540 etc... i5 6xx -> Dual core. Worst VFM i5 7xx -> Quad Nehalam i5 2xxx series -> New Sandy Bridge quad. Min. price 9k and mobo price with USB 3.0 is 6k. So out of budget. The 955BE is quite power hungry.(125TDP) If you want more energy efficient processor opt for the Athlon II X4 640(95w TDP). Since you are not much of a gamer the lack of the L3 cache wont have much of an impact.
