System Specs

I'd say go for the IB chip, since it's a lot more energy efficient and outperforms SB chips clock for clock. If you can get a 2500K to 4.8GHz, it still will only perform like a 3570K at 4.4GHz, and use a lot more power in the process. At stock speeds the 3570K outperforms the 2500K by about 5-10%.
