Choosing the right cpu

I am building a new PC that I need to use for rendering, I am confused about the right processor to use in it a have two possibilities:

- Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition

- Intel Xeon W5590 Nehalem-EP

Note: if I take the second option I will use the EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard for future modification and update.

Witch ones is better for the rendering, any suggestions will be thankful

Intel Extreme's are a big waste of money. 04dcarraher

I can see money's not really an issue. That being said, with the 500$ odd difference from the next highest Intel offering to the Extreme, I'd just save that cash and do something a tad more useful with it...
