Thanks for the table, it really simplifies things. On oc UK there's a i3 system for 350. There's an i5 2500 for double at 706 - is it really worth that much more, when the i3 is easily OCd to 4ghz?

Thanks for responses so far.

Probably not. The difference can go towards a video card, or more Ram.

That's my logic too.
