For playing games like Starcraft, WoW, and SWtOR, will you see a benefit going with a 6-core vs. a 4-core processor?
These are the two CPUs I was considering:
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz

Intel Core i7 970 Gulftown 3.2GHz

To go with the CPU:
GPU - GeForce GTX 580

SSD - 30 GB Kingston 2.5 inch SATA MLC Solid State Disk

HDD - 300GB Gaming Western Digital VelociRaptor 10,000RPM

None of the parts have been purchased, so if you see something that should be upgraded or can stand to be downgraded feel free to critique.
Thanks for the help!
