I'm very tempted on this...although, I don't want to spend more than $400 for MEM, MOBO and CPU. Will post later on my ponderings...

Okay. So, I thought that I was set on the i5-750... but then Intel comes out with an unlocked i5-655K.

Here's a detailed comparision with all of the other Intel processors:

I'm planning on building a computer in the next 3 - 4 months. Been gathering various parts, mostly from the more expensive budget build. Plan was to use this computer for computer animation / graphic design... but that is not a definite. I don't have much time for gaming and probably wouldn't use the computer for that.

Considering the overclocking options that the i5-655K offers (Priced at $220), is it a better choice than going with the i5-750?
