Thinking about building my new system now, as I am tired of waiting.
I'm looking at getting a Z68 MB with a i3-2105 or 2120 (or maybe even a 35w 2120T to use later in a SFF setup) to hold me over until we start seeing IB results. Then I can drop in an IB CPU when they start showing results.
Though those CPUs are only dual-core, they are semi-low power (65w & 35w), lower in price than a 2500K, and they do have hyperthreading if need be. This way, I can build my system now while I have the time and energy.
Here is the comparo of those i3 CPUs:

Thoughts?
