the 6000+ is cheaper.
And yes, it is a very powerful CPU. I have one.
the 6000+ is a fair bit cheaper than the E6600
Not by much. in 60% of benchmarks it does.

the 6000+ is comparable to the e6600 at stock often the 6000+ just pushes ahead but once overclocking is involved the intel reaches faster speeds
*************UPDATE****************
So in light of realising about july 22nd, i've decided to wait until then obviously, and buy a nice intel.
Here's what i've come up with:
Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q6600 - £276.07 / US$555.22 inc. VAT - obviously maybe half.....ish, the price?
Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi 775 - £79.37 / US$159.62 inc. VAT
OCZ 4GB PC2-5400 Vista Upgrade (2 x 2GB) - £117.44 / US$235.30inc. VAT / OR / Corsair Twinx XMS2 PC-6400 DHX (2 x 1GB) - £117.44 inc. VAT / US$236.19
Not sure which of thsoe two ram two go for, 4gb of pc5400, or 2gb of 6400? Same price.
And the motherboard i'm still not sure on, it seems a bit too cheap, like it has 2xIDE connectors which I kinda need - using ide hdd's, it's 650i, skt 775...
And sli mobo's, will my OCZ Modstream 450w be ok, the board has a 8pin connector, my psu only has the normal 4pin one, never even seen a 8pin one before :S.
Also will be keeping the Zalman 7000cuLED I have, it'll be fine right?
Thanks again.

If you want 650i, I'd suggest the MSI P6N Platinum. Forget any products with the name Fatal1ty on it. You're just paying for the name.
It would be better to get 2gb of PC2-6400. You don't need 4GB of RAM, unless your doing CAD, graphic design, or video editing.
The CNPS7000 is compatible with socket 775, so it's fine.
edit: Actually, you have to buy a Zalman ZM-CS1 clip, to install it on a 775 motherboard.
