Sandy Bridge is just the newest micro-architecture Reaps. Nehalem are currently just as good. They are "claiming" that the overall frequency gained with the new architecture is 20% "in most cases" which the claims from the lab bench to the consumer is NEVER accurate.

Just get a descent Nehalem-1155 and call it a day for a couple of years.

Hardware Canooks put out a bench review stating that 5770x2 and 5850x2 where the best bang for the buck about 6 months ago. With the 6870s out, that has dropped the cost of the 5870s and the 5970s because of the surplus in the market. If affordability, affords you, then go nuts I say. :woot:
