YAY ME! :D
I just love Newegg's sense of humor ^_^
I also am going to order the mobo next week after I get paid since I only have 30 days to test this CPU to make sure it's not a DOA.

how long ago did you last order something? I first noticed the "Awesome" writing when I ordered my girlfriend's laptop about a month ago.

LOL no. It's a MAJOR upgrade. ME's Core 2 Quad beats my 955 Black Edition, and his processor is older than mine. This i5-2500k is gonna BLOW my 955 out of the water. Just look at this chart that compares CPU's for gaming:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bes ... 675-7.htmlMy CPU will be at the top of the list just under the i7's, still a whole level above my CPU.

Here's a better Comparison between the i5-2500k and 955 BEalso they state this is there Gaming CPU Heirarchy Chart @ Toms
You can use this hierarchy to compare the pricing between two processors, to see which one is a better deal, and also to
determine if an upgrade is worthwhile. I don’t recommend upgrading your CPU unless the potential replacement is at least three
tiers higher. Otherwise, the upgrade is somewhat parallel and you may not notice a worthwhile difference in game performance.

Considering my CPU maxes out in BC2, and ME's C2Q doesn't go above 60% with BC2...I figured it was time for an upgrade before BF3. That article you linked pretty much shows the 2500k blowing the 955 BE out of the water.

AMD is good for gaming, and just gaming and non-professional everyday use. If you do anything else like I do (some video encoding, FRAPS recording, etc) you need an intel.
