For that kind of money, why not buy a faster AMD Phenom II X4 955? Or a Core i7 920 is even in that price range! WHere are you buying your CPU's?

I'm torn between the Core i7 or 955, but they are both the CPU to get for the amount you are talking. I saw i7's the other day for about $260. THat will stomp the old Q9550 or Q9650. Massive cache and single threaded core throttling. Its a great CPU. No one should be looking at yesterdays tech in that price range!
