This processor is so advanced even I am in awe. Amazon is charging a premium for it , even though the socket 2011 motherboards are really expensive also, this is not for the casual gamer, it is for the real enthusiast that has money to burn. Its awesome but make sure you can afford it.

Don't listen to the top two reviewers. Not only is this not for the casual gamer, it's not for the hardcore gamer, either. No game in existence out now or in the next year or two will ever take advantage of this CPU and its 6 cores. In fact, early benchmarking still has the quad-core 2500K and 2600K CPU's to beat this in terms of gaming performance, and these can easily be OC'd to 4.5GHz with a decent CPU cooler, so it's not like this really ups the ante in that department.
The only reason anyone would ever buy this CPU at THIS MOMENT is if you truly have cash collecting dust and need something to spend it on so you can brag to your friends and anonymous people on internet forums. What's worse, you need to buy a brand new MOBO that supports LGA 2011 which makes this even more expensive and unnecessary at this time.
Much better off to spend that $1000 on more practical upgrades for a PC, or hell, build an ENTIRE new PC with that money...
