New i5/i3 Build

[dark0anima]

i'm planning to switch from a AMD build to an i5/3 build. Currently i only need to get new mobo and cpu, what combo would be the best? I'm looking to crossfire later on.

i have 6gb ddr3 1600mhz, ultra 800watt psu.

1. Will be using it for gaming, websurfing and office work.
2. 300$ CAD max for mobo+cpu
3. Buying in Canada
4. No Brand prefrence
5. Already have 6gb ddr3 1600mhz, ultra 800watt psu, have 500gb hd, case, dvd drive
6. i've looked at threads talking about the 1156 cpus but not sure which one would be the best for me. i5 750 (4 cores) doens't have hyper threading but i5 670 does(2 cores)?
7. Planning to overclock
8. Playing at 1920x1080
9. Build it within a week.

Get an i5 750 + H55 board if it will fit in your budget, if not get an i3 530 and H55 board

I am in the process of doing an i3 build, I just ordered all my parts today. I chose this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131625 .

I ended up going with this board mainly because a higher-end custom build website uses it as an option for their i3 & i5 builds along with favorable reviews (although limited) from newegg.
