mmorpg takes higher cpu frequency, as more buildings/characters are created/calculated the slower the system is.

Thats a real low end graphically speaking game we are talking about so I sure OP rig would have to be very low power to not run this game smooth or it's just a bug of some sort.

its strange it only happens when i view one side of the house, the left, that side having custom content, but its not as clouted as the right,

Phenom II will not bottleneck a single GTX 580.

The i7 (I'd prefer an i5-2500k if you aren't going to be doing anything CPU heavy besides gaming, as they'll perform the same [in gaming]) is going to leave you MUCH more headroom for future GPUs than the Phenom II (such as SLI GTX 580s when you need it).

Another thing, 7970 is out and IMO is better price/performance than the GTX 580 even after the price drop, thanks to its extremely high overclocking headroom.

Is 2 GPU's really worth it? its over kill. unless your a ultra gamer

In gaming you will never tell the difference on the desktop it's debatable but for most people they can get away with spending a bit less on the Phenom II platform while supplies last and they would never know the diff tell them they have an i7 LOL.

Simply not true (not only from my experience there are videos on YouTube with others mentioning much the same). If you've ever used a true i7 system for say everyday use (multiple windows, extracting large rar files, watching movies on dual screens etc) you'd notice the difference.

An i7 system just runs everything, simultaneously, much more efficiently. Seemless almost. AMD rigs tend to have issues with this (I've tried an i7 920 and a Phenom II X4 955 in this role) by having frequent slow downs during this sort of use. It's the difference between a totally seemless desktop experience and one that sorta chugs along.

Not sure why it is the case but it is under these kinds of uses.

For gaming, however, you won't notice a difference.
