16gb (4x4) corsair xms3 1333mhz
msi Z77A-GD55
msi R6850 cyclone oc 1GB GDDR5
120GB pyro SE SSD SATA3
Antec earth watts 650w
coolermaster V6 GT

windows 7 64bit

I7-2600k 3.4GHz
8gb (2x4) patriot viper 1600mhz
msi Z77A-GD55
msi R6850 cyclone oc 1GB GDDR5

Do you need the hyperthreading that the 2600k offers? If not, then use the 3570k

+1 to what Cribbs said. If you're only gaming and doing other general usage on your PC then the i5-3570K http://amzn.to/16BGUkq is a better choice. If you do video editing or rendering then you will want the i7-2600K http://amzn.to/GDapw0.
