    It is interesting to note that in this article we featured three new processors, being the Phenom II X4 965, Core i5 750 and Core i7 860, all of which cost less than $300 US and are able to outperform the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Read more

    this is great for a mid-high range gaming machine. However if you want to do things even more intensive such as live streaming video games or heavy editing, I would go with one of the i7's with hyper threading, get a stand... Read more
