definitely the i5 2500k with the p67 or z68 mobo.

 

[heggzor]

i have never understood why.

the amd got more ghz in total than the i5.

thank you for a quick answer.

and also you can overclock the i5 2500k to 4.5ghz on air.Very few phenom II x6 can do that.

and also view the gaming benchmarks of the i5 2500k vs the phenom II x6.The 2500k destroys the phenom

REMEMBER!
Only the i5 2500k can be overclocked by either a p67 chipset mobo or a z68 chipset.No other mobo can overclock the i5 2500k(h67 or h61.)

not much of a overclocker, but i'l keep it in mind
