[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 1886479, member: 4307"] I run the 2500K in my gaming rig because it's an over clocking beast, nothing AMD has is capable of out performing the intel chips in the bench marks for high end builds. I'm running a mild over clock at 4.2Ghz on my 2500K plus it's not that expensive a chip, I think it was like $260 back in February when I built my rig. My graphics cards were more per card than my processor. Cold boot to fully launched game client, ventrillo and I run SQL server 2008 developer on my rig is 22 seconds. i5 2500K today's price $219 i7 2600k today's price $299 go to anandtech and compare benchmarks for either of those processors against AMD processors and see the difference for yourself. I would stick with Sandy Bridge for now the Ivy Bridge move was a half tick improvement on a 2 year release cycle rather than a 4 year development cycle, the nice thing was what it did for the pricing on sandy bridge processors.
