if it's worth anything a couple weeks ago i picked up a 2600k
p8p67 deluxe < got a good deal/most oc'ing benchmarks i've seen were with this board

8gs of mushkin silverline (ddr2 won't work with that board. ddr3 only)

and my system is wicked fast. 2600k is easily one of the best cpu's right now and can handle a crap load of oc'ing. just make sure you get different cooler since stock ones are lame. I haven't oc'd yet but i've never hit 40c core temp while gaming/photo processing etc.
it so much
