If you were talking about a singular FPS shooter or a regular, non-multiboxer wow player, yes you would be correct that an i5 is the way to go. I tend to believe that most people in the db community are aware that regular tests do not simply scale, but hey, been wrong before and happy to be wrong again, as long as the path is right.

What I and perhaps OP talk would like to hear is how someone with an i5 setup works with first 10 trial accounts, and then maybe with 10 fully lvl'ed accounts if possible.
My system is very stable at 4.5GHz. What's this talk about RMA's? And why do you keep saying i5 when I clearly own an i7
on the 1156 chipset.

I read your post, you retaliated against my Newegg price comparison with a link to Micro Center's in-store price. You can't
order those 950's online from Micro Center... in-store pickup only. So... again, you have to live by one in order to take
advantage of that price.

No one is talking about Extreme Edition Intel processors, only you. My $300 processor is on par with the $1000 980X... look
around the internet at benchmarks. At this point, if you dropped $1000 for a 6 core processor to 10 box World of Warcraft
you're an idiot when people are clearly 10 boxing on old school [and new school] i7's for much less money.
