The Intel Core i7-3770 still looks like the best value to power ratio.

For gaming and video playback, CPU speed pretty much doesn't matter these days.

And depends on what value scale you're looking at.  A8-3870 is like 2x cheaper than a 3770 or 2.5x cheaper than a 3770K.  I can't find a comparison, but I expect it to only be around 30% slower without HT.

2600K is better value than the 3770K at current prices over here anyway.
