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

What?

Turbo is 3.6ghz...

Edit: Woops, didn't read the all core turbo thing
