^ Exactly. He can save $100 by switching the iCore7 to a Phenom II 940, and instead using that money on a much stronger GPU like the ATI HD4870, or even a HD 4870 X2.

Core i7 really isn't necessary for gaming. Actually Phenom II can beat Core i7 on a lot of games (but Core i7 wins in CPU-heavy things like video encoding and Photoshop).
