Thanks a lot for the replies guys, very appreciated!

The prices are in Canadian dollars and I only plan on 5 boxing wow and playing SC2 when it is going to be released.

My only concerns about the i7 setup was that 6 gig of ram wouldn't be enough to 5box. 12 gig of ram in a i7 setup is too pricey for my taste and the i7 setup doesn't offer room for future ram upgrade, since all 3 memory slots are used.

Thanks again guys!
