Right, I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment, I have about £400 to spend, and what I have narrowed it down to is either a new CPU and mobo or an ipad.
PC
Intel Core i5-3570K
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-418-IN £180 (i already have a corsair h100)
Asus Z77 Sabertooth
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-512-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261 £180
total £360
or the new ipad . .. . .
Now, there's nothing wrong with my phenom x6, but, i feel as if I'm missing out not having an Intel processor as my SB laptop is much faster than my main PC and that is quite annoying . . .
Also how is the over clocking with IB, I assume that stock 3.4 GHz should be fast enough for gaming, but considering I have a H100 is 4.4GHz possible like SB?
One last thing, I quite like the look of the ASUS ROG boards so I may want to wait for the new Maximus board, but the sabertooth wont be missing many features surely?
Cheers in advance for the advice

Can't tell you what to do, but if you did decide to go with the parts, you should easily be able to do 4.4 with the h100. It's after 4.5 with the IB chips that things get sketchy.
