I'm currently running a Core 2 Duo E7200, I think its time to upgrade but I cant decide what to. If I go for the Core 2 Quad I can keep my recently purchased P45 motherboard and keep my ram. If I go for the Core i7 I will have to somehow raise £600 or so, replace my motherboard and ram too. Is the Core i7 really going to be worth that much money and fuss over the Core 2 Quad. I use my PC for gaming by the way. Thanks.
 
For gaming, no, it's not worth it to spend $200 in a motherboard and $150 on RAM to go to the i7, the Q9550 will be snapping at it's heels in games.
