We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Would it be much of a change to go from a i7-860 to one of the new Sandy Bridges? Is it worth an extra hundred dollars for the 2600K instead of the 2500K?:confused:
 
2600k has hyper-threading enabled, a slightly larger turbo setting and 8 megs of cache instead of 6 megs of cache on the 2500k.

The PCmark score for the 2500k is around 7,000, while the 2600k score is around 10,000.
 
It depends on what you are using it for. The 2600k gets significant performance improvements in certain applications, most notably rendering, encoding, and folding.
