The 6000+ is still a great CPU. Whatever the cost is, I'd get whichever is cheaper, both will perform very well.

Definitely, I'd just reiterate that as I said the e6600 is a monster of an overclocker.. so if you're into that the e6600 would be the better choice. If not they are, either of them, a great choice..

get the e6600 even if you dont oveclock later on when more advance programs come out you can oc. on air you can prob get the amd to 3.2 on e660o you can prob get it to 3.4 easily
if you are hardcore overclocker, get e6600. I could see that why people want e6600 after I got x6000. Overclocking is addicting so much easier with e6600 that you just want to push your system. X6000 could be overclocked to 4.0ghz (check out http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=146886) but it is tricker than e6600. If you are going to get x6000 and overclock, ask around about the parts other hardcore amd overclockers got because I can't get over 3.3ghz because my ram and bunch of other things are bottlenecking. I was also in your shoes when I got my system 3 weeks ago but I went with x6000. No regrets at all and I love my system.
