playing games like Guild Wars, Diablo 3, Second Life. i also want to do editing with Photoshop CS3/CS4 . which one according to you is better for my need. which has more value for money.

Thank you

The Intel Core i7-860 does not come with the same price as the i920, i920 is more expensive has power almost equal to i7 860 , but the purpose for which you want to upgrade also depends on the good graphics card and motherboard too. only processor will not gonna do the things.

The Core i7 860 more interesting than the Core i7 920, The Core i7 860 is then sold at around 280 €, price again higher than the Core i7 920 sold it for around 240 €. This time the situation is not quite the same as the Core i7 860 is more efficient than the Core i7 920 surpassing in almost all tests.

Intel certainly control technology and new Core i5 750 and Core i7 860/870 display in all very good performance.The inclusion in the same processor controller PCI-Express is a technological first that seems to time give any satisfaction even if the number of lines managed is certainly too small. The propensity to overclocking these new models is just excellent and the choice not to amputate the Core i5's cache meet the Core i7 is appropriate.
