If you have the chance, would you mind posting percent of its maximum 2600K i7 CPU usage when playing games known to push CPU (for example, "Metro 2033", BC2, others?). I have curiosity because my current CPU (Q9650@3.9GHz) is beginning to reach 100% in the 4 cores in some games, and I'm likely to upgrade this year. I thought I would wait until the base of 2011 came out, but since I mainly use my PC for gaming and Internet surfing, I'm beginning to think 2600K is the way forward. But if the CPU is already challenged by the games, maybe I have to re-examine.
