So in what instance is the i7 Sandy a better choice than the i5? In the building thread, it seems to be a consensus that (for gaming at least) there is no real reason to get an i7.

Well crap. I JUST built a psp67 i5 2500k setup this past week. I used newegg. Now Ill need to call I assume to figure out what to do. My stuff should still be under the Newegg Warranty, but since there is no resolution, Im not sure what they will do.

Well, just got my replacement p8p67 motherboard. I took everything out of my old one and put on the new one. Now my new one is giving me a memory error (Memory Check light is red). The system appears to be testing. The memory light is constant red. At the very end of the test, the CPU light flashes red one time and the system restarts. Everything worked fine before (Except the faulty SATA connections). No sounds at all during this whole power up/red light/restart. It looks like ill be on my 3rd motherboard.

Everything worked fine before (Except the faulty SATA connections). So I did all the suggested actions. Finally - for whatever reason - the computer now boots up to bios with one stick of ram. Do I set the bios any differently? There is a setting to set to optimized defaults. EDIT: Just saved without changing anything and shut down. Restarted with both sticks of ram and went back to red light/no screen. EDIT2: So went to one stick again and then swapped sticks. Turns out one of them somehow went bad while transitioning to the new MB.
