But maybe you should wait for the Ivy Bridge CPUs (probably @March). Or maybe : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116492 (note that no stock cooler included ) With a matching mobo like one of these : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131803 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131801 Seriously too much money for a small performance difference. But 6 cores (with HT of course), 4 channel memory architecture (up to 64 GB), support for PCI-e v3.0, 12MB L3 cache, all those sound good. No integrated video, though.
