Is the i5 6500 really that good, or should I go for an i7 k or something? Because here's where I'm at now ( http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJ8zM8 ) but if an i7 is going to blow this (and the xeon) out of the water for a little more, I'd be silly to pass on it.
If you dont wand to pay for an i7 just keep the cooler and replace the the 6500 with a 6600k and oc you'll get similar performance.
