I never said the OP should get i5. I said that I disagree them about being only for hardcore gamers. And I really have no idea what you mean by them being for '' very high end gamers '' or '' quad xfire user '' . Oh look, I have just one GPU and I still use i52500K.
I suggested him Phenom, and I stand behind my word. If you look at the current market and it's prices, Phenom X6 is a good choice, or X4 if you really can't spare extra 20 bucks for more bang. OR, he can go with a pre-built one and get his awesome 2.3ghz dual core processor -_-.
