    I'm still milking along my Core2Duo, which has a good bit of life left in it. I'll go quad-core when the Core2 just isn't cutting it anymore.

    That said, if I were building from scratch right now, I'd go with the i5 chip. Maximum bang for the buck, and you still get 4 physical cores and 8 virtual cores. Plenty enough for CPU-heavy tasks such as re-encoding video, etc.

    The 1156 mobos are the way to go.
