My rule of thumb when building a new PC to balance bang-for-the-buck and performance so I can go long enough without upgrading has been to get the next step down from the top-of-the-line processor. Seems in this case that's not a valid rule of thumb, and the "entry level" 8 core is going to be not only the best bang-for-the-buck, but ridiculously so.
