I still think you should get a 720 BE cpu, since it can reach higher clocks without that fourth core. Still, if games are to support quad cores in the future it will almost certainly support tri cores, and i think that extra clock speed will be worth it. Correct me if i'm wrong but that's just my opinion.

I agree on the 720, swap out the 4830 for a 4850 or 4870 if you can for more future proofing.
