after doing a bit of research
the i7 860 is on a different platform then the 920
the 860 is on the 1156 offering dual channel memory 920 is on the 1366 offering triple channel memory
they both overclock to around 4ghz off of air
the only advantage of getting the 920 over the 860 would be future proofing but seeing as the 860 and high end components will last you a while you would probably only be future proofing till technology past the "i9" is released easily 1-3+years away
so the question remains do you want to spend an extra $170 + different motherboard + triple channel ram for getting a bit more of future proofing
also looked up some bench marks.. without overclocking the 920 the 860 apparently out performs it
also WHERE THE FUCK IS MY DEAL I TOLD U BOUT INTEL RETAIL EDGE SHIT
god i fucking hate you if you leave me out of this
