Nice build. Its nice to see someone who has been very specific about what components they picked and why they picked them, I got into computers around the same time as yourself and also like yourself don't build a new machine for myself very often, I went Cyrix MII 300 > PIII 1GHz > Athlon XP-m 2500 @ 2.4GHz > C2Quad Q6600 and have just recently built a new system, Went 6700k as it was a real nice price vs performance for myself too, still managing to get all new components and just go used for the CPU. Understand where your coming from with core count, I wouldn't class myself as a power user in the sense that I'm doing high work loads that would justify a high end work station but I do a varied load of some video editing, lots of multi tasking, photo editing, a bit of gaming and even the "old" 6700k I find it hard to really load up day to day!
