    They're about the same except for clock rate, the 760 being a little better in that area. You have to ask yourself if the little bit extra processing power is worth the extra cost. We can't spoon feed you what parts you need. It is entirely up to you to decide.

    The features are exactly the same. The 760 is a little faster than the 750, but not by much.

    Thats $8. I'd pay the extra $8/£5 for the 760.

    The i5 760 runs at 2.8 ghz, has 4 cores, and turbo; it sells for about 210 in the US

    The i5 660 runs at 3.33 ghz, has 2 cores, hyperthreading and turbo; it sells for about the same price.

    The 660 has graphics built into the CPU. The 760 does not have this capability--you would have to buy a separate video card or get a motherboard with onboard video.



    In turbo mode, the 660 runs at 3.60 ghz

    In turbo mode, I think the 760 runs at 3.46 ghz

    Turbo mode forces the processor to operate at a faster clock speed, like overclocking.

    See here:

    and here:

    The 660 uses less power and generates a little less heat.

    Both are socket 1156.

    Both are excellent choices.

    The 660 has a noticeably higher clock speed and would likely be the better choice in single threaded applications.

    The 3rd and 4th core of the 760 may be a deciding factor, depending on exactly what applications you use on your PC. Or those extra cores may do you no good.

    For the vast majority of cases, you won't be able to tell the difference without a benchmark.

    Here is an explanation of hyperthreading, which is found only on the 660.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthreading

    It is a way to get more workload on each core, as a kind of simulation of another core.

    does the intel i5 760 chipset have turbo? and if it does what is the speed it runs at when in turbo mode?

    Dude, seriously, use Google/bing/Yahoo. Types in "Intel i5 760". You will find a page from Intel's website with a the specifications. You do the same thing for any component you need more info on.
