To get 20% better performance (not in games, just video rendering, encoding, converting, etc.) you need to get the 6 core i7 Sandy Bridge E which cost $580. The 2600K is a better buy because he will be able to upgrade to Ivy Bridge since it will use the same socket

The platform (LGA2011) has very little to offer past what 1155 has.

Hmm. Sounds like it really does supersede 1366, in every way... Unless Intel has some interesting things planned for it in the future.

Ivy Bridge E will be using the 2011 socket (as far I can tell). That wont be release in a few years.
raandomer:
Go with 2600 instead, you dont need the "k" version if your not ocing.
The msi hawk has a much better cooler than the evga stock designed. Only a few dollars more.
That cooler is getting old, i suggest grabbing a normal tower cooler like the cm hyper evo.
You could probably use a lower end mobo too but that asus is fine.
Ixarku:
Thanks, good catch on the 2600 vs the 2600k. Price difference is only $20, but, yeah, I don't intend to do any ocing, so saving the $20 is fine by me.
This is why I like posting here; I come up with an approximation of what I want, then the rest of you guys point out where I can do better!

Other reasons for getting the non-K too, if you happen to tinker with virtualisation and other stuff. The K variant doesn't have VT-d enabled.

Really, do you have to buy stuff this Black Friday? SSD are still undergoing improvements in design, Ivy Bridge is next year, and you have to see if the Bulldozer will drive Intel prices down some more. Don't forget to compare newegg's price with those at other places such as buy.com and frys.com / outpost.com since the prices may be very much to your advantage on a few items. As an example, the current Frys retail store price (to Nov17) for Seagate 2GB Barracuda (5900 RPM, 32MB) is $149 as shown in the newspaper ad clipping below:
As a price comparison, the frys retail stores have some of their deals listed by a 3rd party site at:
http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/
http://www.pricescan.com/indices/pricescan_indices.html
There is also the low-price leader at http://chinagrabber.com/ where I assume you can buy a Seegate 7200 32MB 2TB drive for $129 with free shipping. Anyways, the site is worth browsing just to see what kinds of weird items are available.
