It is still a great gaming CPU. The point of a K series chip is overclocking, so if you have a good aftermarket cooler on it, overclock it.

The Intel® Core™ i7-2600K is a great processor for gaming with the only draw back for it being the hyper-threading that isnt used in many games. If you pick up a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo it is very easy to reach over 4GHz and even possible to reach over 4.5GHz on some of them.
