2500K unless you do synthetics.
Come on guys. Its not worth the extra dough.
It simply doesnt have HT which means 8 logical cores instead of four.
Which again, isn't needed for games.
a 6950 is decent.
So is a 560 Ti
They're both quite comparable.
Wait for the 560 448's and see how they do. They shouldnt affect pricing of the other cards seeing as they're a limited time deal, but its still worth considering.
Heres a fun one: Even with a 580, you can't max out the new batman.
When it comes to PSU's they're most efficient at 80% of their rated RMS output.
So if you buy a 1000W and only use 40% of that, you're wasting more electricity compared to purchasing a smaller one.
On the other hand, if you ever wanted to go SLI, you're kinda boned.
On SLI/Crossfire, seems to be worth it if you buy two+ cards at once. Not so much if you wait.
Memory timing and speed don't really matter.
Hate to break it to you.
Theres a fraction of a single FPS difference most of the time.
