Intel i7 2600k fastest

Not as bad as I thought. It's $80 more than the 990x. These must be some nasty fast processors.

WinstonTJ has an X5690... a couple of notches below the W3690... he says it's VERY fast.

Best bang for the buck, however is the i7-2600 @ $300-ish.

Agreed completely! Btw, what is it with the i7-2600 and these "sandy bridge issues" i'm reading about? I'm lost with that one.

Unless it's a new one, originally had a problem with the USB 3.0 ports... since, fixed.
