How does this beastie look, any benefit in an i7-2600k? Can't see it being CPU limited really.

I'm thinking that going to an i7 is pointless for a gaming machine as few games will be wanting to eat all the hyperthreaded cores, and I'm better sticking with an i5-2500k which can go to a higher clock if need be, the extra hundred quid being pointless.

Reasonable?

I think barring anyone commenting otherwise here's the machine, spot on budget.
