    Ignore the 2400... the i5 2500k is what its all about right now

    550 watt should be fine if you aren't doing heavy overclocking

    ah cheers, yeah I just saw the 2500k, an unlocked multiplier does look mighty tempting :D

    I will be overclocking, if I was to get the 2500k i'd have to :P Currently have the q6600 at 3.8.

    you have no choice then as you cant OC the 2400
    only K versions can be OC'd.
