Rahul, is the 2600K worth it? How much are you being charged for it anyway? I am not sure if the additional price is worth it since clock-to-clock the 2500K should perform a notch less than the 2600K save for the added 2MB L3 cache and hyperthreading.
I am not sure of the requirements of the system either. Don't think you have mentioned it before.
for my requirement, 2500k is of no use as the price difference is just 5-6k between the two + the space which going to be taken by the cabinet. I can easily push 20-30% more performance out of the 2600k as compared to 2500k for rendering purpose.
2500k overclocked to around 4.5ghz will achieve score of around 6.8-7.0 in rendering where as the 2600k at the same clock blows away the 2500k achieving 8.8-9.0 score.
so you can do the math as the system is not going to be used for anything else.

The p8p67 Deluxe is rock steady... been crunching on WCG for almost a month now , non stop 24/7 practically
overclocking has no issues at all once you have the bios set up properly
Have my chip running 4.5 ghz rock steady .
cheers and kind regards bro !
thanks for the info, good to hear a postivie review.
my requirement is very similar as its gonna be on load 24/7, but i think deluxe is a little bit of an overkill for my requirement, only upside i see is the better powerphase.
btw are you using aircooling or water?
