| Captain_Yuri said: I would get 6600k if you care about overclocking, otherwise, get the 6500. 6400 is too low and the regular 6600 is only 100mhz more (300mhz turbo) but also costs $21 more and you sound like you are on a budget. So I say the best value is 6500 if you aren't comfortable overclocking. |
the base clock isn't really all too relevant, in games these CPUs will run at the all core turbo clock (usually the 1 core turbo is listed, which is used very rarely) even with the boxed cooler
and the 6500 is at 3.3 ghz in all core turbo
