Hypethreading works in some apps - like video encoding - that's why I have a 990 - but it's no use as far as I can see for games (It really does work for video encoding though - if the app supports i - I've seen 12 threads munching through encoding-far quicker than with the 920 I had before - but I have never seen them used by anything else). For gaming go for the best archiecture/clockspeed - a Sandy bridge has much better bangs per buck for that - and I am sure 2500k will be great. 2600k may be better in the future- or if you use some apps - otherwise save your money. It's horses for courses.
