We need MORE Xeons, people! If you like to game, fine. But, I've been to busy with 3D modeling, Fabrication, Virtual Machine configs, etc... why should we who are not currently gaming, have to focus on "game-optimized" processors???
More XEONs PLEASE!!!
Lets all be serious.... Unless you're doing intensive 3D modeling or massive 4k gaming a 6600k would be completely fine. I have mine OC'd to 4.7 GHz at 1.35v. Idle it runs about 28-30c depending on how hot it is outside (currently at 37c with 3 tabs open and running battlefield on my other monitor) . I have the lower end H60 Corsair cpu cooler on it so it isn't like I'm fancy. Just drop $220 on the 6600k and be happy with your purchase.
Edit: it's OC'd to 4.8 @1.31
This is from NewEgg, it is marginal, i would hope 300+ orders could get a better deal, but it would be ignorant to make assumptions.
