IMHO... Get the biggest and fastest that fits your budget.

As MikeBwca said, get the fastest CPU that your budget allows. You can never have too much processing power.

Is the system going to be dedicated to BI?

MoBos/Chipsets with extra PCI lanes and USB 3.0 ports would be less useful. And if you get a 'k' model CPU that can be overclocked make sure your chipset supports overclocking.

The only difference for the sockets themselves is the pin count: socket 1151 has 1151 pins, and socket 2066 has 2066 pins. There is no difference between their performances,
