The i7 platform is going to cost a lot more, but Q9550 is going to be nipping at it's heels in gaming, <- notice the italic. The i7 will be a lot faster in other multi threaded apps but not a lot in gaming.
You might want to check out the new Phenom II 940 as well.

The i7 isn't much better than a C2Q at games...yet. The architecture was designed to be an improvement in multi-threaded apps. Your best bet is to go with the comment above and get a PII. They will get the most clock out of any quad-core processor.

Well the I7 is an awesome proc, the Q9550 is good to, i would probably go with the I7 though the Q9550 has 12mb cache and the I7 920 has 8mb

If you're in the US, get the 920 from micro center. They have it for only $220.
