Hi Spike and Arclight.
I'm doing yet anoyher build myself since I got yet another new case I couldn't pass on. And This IS my last build.
If I readit right it's a $10.00 difference between cpu's ?
Go with the Ci7 as Arclight suggests. The price of the mobo isn't going to be much different.
Well unless you buy this one :

Imho if you go with Ci5 the mobo socket stops you from any future upgrade in that area.
CPU and MOBO should be your biggest expenditure.
Their your Foundation for future Upgrades.
