Depends what the PC is for, but the i5 3570k is the best bang for buck CPU available currently.

lol either you're being sarcatic and your joke is far too subtle for me to realise it right away, or your just an idiot. I don't know which.

He is saying the BD is better than everything else, and his sig says he has a 2500K, what do you think?

I thought as much, but the thing is that sarcasm doesn't translate so well on the net, and if the OP's question is legit then his sarcasm isn't very helpful or appropriate.

If you've had sandybridge previously then you definately don't want AMD as it's a backward step.
Forget about the LGA 1366 Core i7, as they are old tech now. As good as they still are LG1366 is a dead socket.
The two LGA2011 sku's that you've listed are both excelltn, plus you should have another upgrade option when IB-E (potentially) comes at the end of next year.
If you're more budget sensitive then go for the 3570K, but weigh it up against the cost of the 3820 and make your decision. The better the board you go for the narrower the gap in price will be. If you want a budget board then it will force you down the 3570K route. If you want a quality board then the price difference will end up being around 60 quid which easily justifies more threads, more PCI-E lanes and everything else that X79 offers.
If money just isn't an issue then go for the 3930K and don't look back - it's a beast.
