Computer suggestions?

I am also looking into new computers right now so I may have some kind of advice for you if you want to hit me up.

You probably want either an i5-2500K or an i7-2600K. The 2500K costs about $220 and the 2600K costs about $315. If I understand correctly, the i7-2600K will have about a 30% increase in analysis and a 50% RO speed at stock frequencies (with XG). However, if you are going to OC, I think the difference may be significantly closer.

Since most of the other components don't make a big difference, you can probably put something together with a i7-2600K starting ~$800 or so, depending on what you want to use it for.
