Intel I7 2600k

It would be helpful if you said what area of performance you were thinking about.

Here's a comparison with the i7 2600K:

Phenom II X4 955 v i7 2600K

Unless you use applications which take advantage of hyperthreading the much cheaper i5 2500K will serve you just as well as the i7 2600K

i5 2500K v i7 2600K
