    Hey all,

    Considering upgrading my CPU, just wasn't sure if it was going to be possible or even worthwhile. Current setup:

    Core i5 750 2.66 GHz - LGA 1156
    12GB 1333 RAM
    Sapphire Radeon HD7880 2GB GHz edition GPU

    Would it even be worthwhile trying to get my hands on one of the i7 processors for slot LGA 1156?

    Id be waiting until towards end of the year and see what will happen with the new cpus, I have the 2nd genration i5 socket 1155 its working fine so I'm gonna hang in there and see what will be on offer in a few months. I'll probably upgrade cpu and mobo then.
