With that in mind I went with 3930K, I was considering some Xeon 8 core that were selling cheaply, but it was fishy(seller did not wanted to tell how he got the chips) and I figured out that I will get more performance for most or all of my needs with unlocked 6 core.
If it will be worth it, I'll upgrade to Ivy Bridge E when they are out, probably it is last possible upgrade to S2011, but at the moment there are no future-proof systems anyway(going with 4 core Ivy Bridge right now would be even worse for my needs, and I could not wait any longer).
