Yeah, the 6400 makes no sense at all with the 6500 being so close in price.

Well, none of these cpus make any sense when the e5-2670 is $70....

And then you can snag any of these $350 & up motherboards for it :\

Got my X79-deluxe locally for $150. Just wait around for people selling off their x79 to upgrade.

Yeah if you want used. I bought a used Asus X79 Deluxe in box & all accessories last year for $35. Wish I had it now :\
