If you're not going to overlock, you can go with the regular one. Or you can plonk down another 15 bucks and get the K, so you can change your mind.

If you are not going to overclock and you are not going to rely on the integrated graphics core, then just get the i7-2600.

Is there a significant price difference between those two in your place? Comparing newegg prices it is wise enough to just get the i7 2600k.

5% / $15. Me, I'd go for the k.
Video encoding is improved with dedicated GPU and the onboard ICP - Do not know what diff there would be between the HD2000 (2600) vs the HD3000 (2600k). Believe it is also software dependent as.

Get the K as its a no brainer for the extra little money it costs, plus it will have a higher resale value.

You say u will not overclock - I say you should reconsider. Why not make your CPU into something that rivals a $1000 CPU? It is not very hard to do - I think you would be pleasantly surprised at the results. Go for the K.
