i3, i5, or i7 CPU?

[lostsoul62]

I have an Intel E6550 Dual core with 4 Gigs of 6400 RAM runing Windows 7 (64 bit) and a 1 terabyte Seagate Hard Drive, and it is slow for dealing with 15,000 pictures in one file because I'm trying to get rid of the duplacates and it's taking close to 100% of my CPU output when I'm video calling and on magic jack at the same time. I would like to build another computer that would be much faster without putting me in the poor house. On each of the i series they have different speeds. I would like to have a motherboard that would support USB3, SATA 3 (6 gigs), and PC 2000. I don't need a hard drive, keyboard, mouse, or monitor and I'm looking to spend about $700. Any suggestions?

Whats your budget? That would really change weather its and i3, i5, i7. I just finished a i7 930 build this week and I'm loving it. But a budget will help us to help you

If you just want a machine to store and view the pictures then what you have should be fine. You might just need a new hard drive specifically for your pictures, if your having problems.

However, if your heavily editing them then it's a different cattle of fish.

To be fair to Rakuma the OP edited his original post more than an hour later, after Rakuma and I posted, adding more information, including the budget.

I did try and put together a decent i5 750 set up but went over budget slightly.
