you can get a 3930k for $600, but are you really needing the 2 extra cores? the 3930k is only faster than the 2600k on high multithreaded applications. for 99% of even HIGH END users the 2600k is the best processor out there. Only select applications is it justifiable to get the higher end ones. The 3930 is on amazon in stock. The 3930 is far better than the gulftown, but the gulftown is barely better then the 2600k for half the price. There is no place for a 980 in any computer at that price point IMO. i have no idea why you would buy it.
