I just send my sabertooth p67 and 2500k back to newegg i cannot deal with it anymore. I know that everyone is going to tell me there the best blah blah blah. Lets move on

For around 300$ or less for a cpu intel what is a good choice?? Before the 2500k i have never really paided much attention to intel so what are the other good gaming cpus no 1155 socket please.

I would recommend the LGA 1366 over the LGA 1156.

It is the better platform and more proven platform outside of the LGA 775 for Intel. It gives you the option for 6-cores down the road (the i7 970 is now under $600 and seems to be dropping). It gives you better multiple card setups.. x16,x16, or x16,x8,x8, where for the most part with the LGA 1156, it is x8,x8. This is important specially when running multiple GTX 580's on multiple monitors... you won't see a bottleneck.

You have a very valid argument that many feel the way you do, which is why AMD strives at the price to performance area (though the SB has put a hit into that market, if you get by the chipset issue, which seems most have to a point).

The 2500k was awsome and rips amd a new arse but i am not willing to have another issue with 1155. I need to decide to go with the i5 760 or the amd 1100t, the i5 760 is a quad core right?

is the 1156 reccomend over the 1366. I just dont want to have an issue this time i think any of the i5 or i7 or even amds are going to be enough for me lol.. I have a gtx 580 i just dont want it to bottleneck thats all i really care about.

I've been running the original EVGA X58 without issues. I'm a firm believer they are the best overall Intel boards, specially the Classified series. I have debated upgrading to the EVGA X58 FTW3 but at this time don't need SATA III or USB 3.0. My other choice would be the ASUS P6X58D-E.
