I want to get new Intel but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't know if speed I could gain is worth 600$ more for X6800 instead of E6700. I'm not even sure if 200$ is well spent if you can get E6600? . What do you think? I'm not going to OC.

The E6600 overclock well with DDR2 800+ . The only difference between those 3 are clock speed.

the x6800 has a slightly higher clock speed than the E6600 and the E6700.But the major selling point would be the unlocked multiplier.
But u'd be better off(in terms of money) to get a E6600 and some good quality DDR2 800/1066 ram and overclock.

For you, lukx, the 6700 would be the best. It's awfully fast, with no need for overclocking.

edit: Oh, and it costs half of what the X6800 costs.
