Check the charts above. Even the old i5-750 beats x6 1100T in every single game. Also what does not show in that chart is tht x4 965 beats x6 1055T in every single game because of raw clock speed difference.
"Video editing and stuff", ie. properly multithreaded math that takes advantage of all 6 cores is the only thing where PhenomII x6 is better than the 4-core CPUs, although i5-2500K beats it in there too.

Trolling should be.
I would recommend looking at the setups that he posts as a good idea of parts to get. However when it comes to raising the bar he just seems to pick more expensive components without reason. As in, if he is choosing a more expensive component compared to a similar build he should at least explain why.
For the majority of gamers buying the higher end motherboards is a complete waste. So goes some silly over the top CPU cooler. The stock Intel Coolers do fine. Same goes for keyboard and mice selections. Your preference there should be what is most comfortable to use.

I'm fairly new to computing components and all the like, but unless they use some magical dB system 6dB is not some nominal difference it's 4 times the power, and around twice as loud or so (10 dB is considered double perceived volume, 6 dB is double the pressure wave) regardless of starting dB.
