I second this, I have a 5820K and it works incredibly well, and if he's not going SLi, there's no need for the extra lanes on the 5830 either. Beastly processor, plus the fact that CPU's haven't really been bottlenecks in gaming at all since the multi-core processing units came about. I remember my first Core 2 Duo kicking ass when the GPU kneeled (an AMD 1950XTX at the time).
