Chipset H61
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
ATX Case Black
It's only around 15% expensive than the AMD FX 8120
The motherboard is a bit of a deal breaker if you want to overclock.
But if you aren't going to overclock, its a much better deal.
I don't want to overclock my CPU ever.
But why think about overclocking?.
Isn't i7 2600 Sandy Bridge enough to run 100% speed in almost all dolphin games?.
Not all, but more than it won't run at full speed.
Most games should be fine.

Fixed that for you
It isn't 2600k, it's only a 2600.

It isn't 2600k, it's only a 2600.
Then it won't overclock anyway, so that's a great deal.
Sorry if I offended anyone but if you like AMD FX-series that bad , i won't stop you from purchasing it

I actually don't like FX AMD that bad, I like it because I don't know that much about computers haha.
But, actually, I'm going for the i7 2600 3.40 Ghz I've been watching videos of Dolphin and ppl emulate it at 100% even SSBB with 4 player mode.
Thanks for everyone's help.
OMG , you're about to waste money for that i7 :
+No k" -> no overclocking
+It has Hyper Threading (HT) feature while the i5 does not have -> Dolphin doesn't support (HT)
+Higher Cache size than the i5 -> Not worth it (100$)
+Higher clock speed than i5 2500 -> 100MHz doesn't make any difference anyway

I don't wan to overclock, so I really don't mind that K.

Cache wont matter.
Clock speed humm...

Have to add;
There are 2 offers;
i5 2400. (X price)
i7 2600 Sandy Bridge. Difference from i5 2400 price is about 20$.
