Taken that those two are the top line* processors on the market even beating the 1366 i7 extreme's with 6 cores in some CPU tests, specialy if you plan on overclocking(buying a K model means you are), you can't expect CoD not to run ok on those. If not, nothing will run it at the moment and it'll be just the same not to even buy the game

*not including server oriented multiple CPU builds

I agree waiting is allways a good choise, but this close to realease you realy can't go wrong with those 2 since nothing better is out realy.
