I just spec’ed a new workstation with an OC’d i7-2600k but haven’t received it yet. It’s only a quad-core vs. some of the hex-core i-7’s you can get. The hex-core i-7 (depending on the model) might outrender the 2600k because it has more available cores, but I chose it because it will be faster on non multi-threaded applications.
It is a very solid CPU but you may be better of with 960 or 970 if your main intent is rendering in max… You mentioned the 990 above but I think you may be confused because its about 3-4 times more $$$ than the 2600k.... not really fair comparing the two. (the 2600k will NOT outrender the 990x)
