I am toying with a switch from AMD to Intel. Waiting another month isn't going to hurt (much ;)).

My 550BE (unlocked to 3 cores @3.5Ghz) is OK, but maybe I just need a little convincing that a switch to an i2500K (or the new IB version) will provide me with the upgrade "hit" that I seem to be craving.
 
I'm currently building my new rig and going the plan is to get a 2500k maybe next month - probably one of the pre oc'd bundles which are at about 4.4ghz

You should probably wait until a week or two are IvyBridge if you're not in a hurry as it'll lower the 2500k's price a bit with the 3570k coming in at just under the £200 mark they'll definately need to lower the 3500k's pricetag. Might only be £30 though if you're not fussed about that.
