i7 is a must, I'm trying to keep the price down but ensure it can be upgraded down the road and last long enough to get there. Suggestions, something I'm missing?
I should tell you what I'm using it for, might help. This isn't just a gaming rig, I do some video editing/encoding work from time to time and also spend a lot of time in VMware and VirtualBox for school and personal endeavors.
