Look, I know it's better to run two cheap computers than have one power horse run 10 instances. I only have two monitors and limited deskspace and I want one computer that will do raids and IoC/AV decently. Minimized settings are fine--I just want decent FPS.

So, I have an I7 920 @ 3.3ghz with 16 gigs of Corsair DDR3 and a GTX 550TI and an SSD. I was able to do some raiding but Org hammers me--My CPU is maxxed out even with everything minimized. So, my question is this: Which of these two options should I go with?

It's $430 versus $590 obviously, but what is going to be the performance gap? I'd love to just pull out the current processor I have and pop the new one in, apply some thermal paste and put the fan on it and go. This is my number one issue: Performance. I can eat the $250 difference if the performance is there.

Oh, and I have an ASUS P6T SE as my current mobo.
