It has no sense to buy a i7 920 unless you go for triple channel memory. But that's a crap load of money you have to spend. I;m saying this because for a period I was convinced I'm going to go for a 1366 socket platform. But now that's a no-no. The 1366 motherboards are a lot more expensive than 1156 socket motherboards(talking about the same performance level).
So, I established my next upgrade for the pc, to finally replace the last components from my pc : processor and motherboard(but because i7 requires ddr3... well... it's going to be a little more expensive :D).
Here's my part list :
-Intel i7 860
-Gigabyte P55-UD4, socket 1156
-Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3/1600MHz Non-ECC HyperX
These 3 components will cost me around 750$. And I only have 150$ now

(and I saved 150 in 2-3 months... shit.). If I'm optimistic, I'll make my upgrade around my birthday(that's in april). If I'm realistic, I'll make my update next summer. And if I'm pessimistic, I'll make my upgrade next autumn.
I'll probably stay for a while with my current Ati Radeon HD4850 before buying a new videocard, mostly because I'd have to get more money(and this is very hard for me). Maybe buy an accelero for it to be able to cool itself better. And with this upgrade I must buy a new case.
