I've been keeping my eye's peeled for a "K" version for this reason. I may have to wait to purchase, a lot going on.

Gaming does not show a marked improvement with hyperthreading. i5's are just fine for gaming rigs. I personally do other heavy lifting on my rig and so I have an i7.

Update to my PCs: Bought an Alienware Alpha (Actually a steam machine but I installed Win 10). i3-4170t 12GB - 1600Mhz RAM(added) 240GB SSD(added) fits my needs as a portable "power pc" which replaces my alienware laptop m11x r2

Any recommendations for internal cabling. I'm starting to nitpick my build a little, and I want to get some cables that are a little less rigid to clean up my cable management. It's primarily the the two 8-pin PCI-E cables that are going to my video card. I can bend them, but because they're so rigid they start to straighten out, and I don't want them to end up putting tension on the card at the plug.

That stress might be minor, but it would be no stress at all with some more flexible power cables.

Don't laugh, my gaming rig is a Walmart bought CYBERPOWER PC. They are really easy to upgrade with better equipment.
