Honestly you are just wasting money if you buy an i7 which could go into a better GPU, unless you are actually going to be using the i7 for its benefits then yes it would be worth it but from a few of your topics you are just wanting to play some games.

It's partly for show :p

But I probably will get the i5-3570k and the 660ti or a 580 3gb

So you're willing to spend an extra $100 to get the same performance but be able to brag about it just because it's an i7? Wow.

Money is not a limitation,I just want to know whats right for what I want,like I know too much ram will limit CPU overclocking ability so I don't want too much ram and I know fsx doesnt run good under some gpu,like the gtx690 best card around at the moment probably but fsx runs better on a gtx 680 than the 690

That's fine if you don't have a limitation but it's just a waste if you aren't using it for its full potential.

If you do decide to go with the i7 just for 'show' then that really is just money well wasted.

Buy an i7 sticker if it's so important. :rolleyes:

If you did that then you would be baller status.
