I couldn't wait anymore so I went for the top and upgraded my hotas while I'm at it. No need to second guess anymore and my rig will be ready, time-tested and configured before CoD comes out. Some of the components take 3-6 weeks to arrive however..

Asus P8P67 Deluxe Intel P67 LGA1155
MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC NVIDIA
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHz LGA1155
OCZ RevoDrive PCI Express SSD 120GB SSD
Corsair 8GB (4x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL9
Antec P193 ATX
Noctua NH-D14
Corsair AX850W
Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog

I wonder how my saitek pedals will fit with the hog..

As far as i know 2600K might have "less" gaming power than the 2500K due to the multi threading, or lack thereoff in game. It literally slows the 2600K down below 2500K in certain applications (for ex. games that does not use multi threading)

Not a bid deal as such, just thought i mention it.

I haven't seen any proof of this from any benchmarks I've looked at. Older intels with price tag around 1k have topped 2600k but never seen 2500k taking the lead.

Maybe it can be true for older titles, don't know..

multi threading can be switched off.
