The 990X is a glorified 980X... it doesn't even have a new stepping to it. It's $700 more expensive than the 2600K, has 2 more
cores, and [the 980X] loses most of the benchmarks to a stock clocked 2600K [3.4GHz]. Seeing as you can probably take a
2600K to 4.5GHz very easily on air cooling I would never suggest at this point to waste your money on any of the EE processors
for the dying 1366 platform.

Now, before someone jumps on me... you said the 2600, not the 2600K. I'm only assuming you meant the 2600K because
you're comparing it to a 990X.
