My build was around $1000 and achieves similar geekbench scores as the low end 8 core Mac Pro. I got just under 12k at stock frequencies. It's also stable, it's only had problems twice in the 2 months of daily use. With a decent mobo and cooler, you can overclock the 2600k pretty easily. I haven't overclocked because I don't run demanding programs all the time. Just check my sig for what parts I used.
