i7 875K. Been serving me well for the past 6 years.
The CPU is more than enough, but the motherboard is the problem. especially the lack of compatibility with today's SSDs.

i7 4790k
Should do me for a good while yet
A6-5400k does all i need at the moment. Will upgrade to Zen when it is released.
The PC I use mainly as a server I upgraded this year to an FX8320e - somewhat overkill, but I'm able to significantly undervolt it and still have loads of headroom to keep this going for another ~8 years as I did with the previous CPU.
The PC I use mainly for games still has a Phenom II X3 710 (with a 30% OC to 3.4GHz). Has been fine for the all the games I have so far (the RX480 helps), so not in a hurry to upgrade.
The laptop has a Core2Duo T5270 which only manages 1.4GHz - ok for simpler stuff, but struggles when let down by the barely functional integrated graphics (Intel 965GM). Would love to upgrade, but can't afford to yet, as it's difficult to find a modestly priced laptop which doesn't have a crappy 1366x768 screen.
i7 860 doing me proud is 2009 - though also finding issue with ssds.
i7 3770
i5-6600k
6500T @ 4Ghz
A 4690K and a 3770K, both heavily overclocked 4.5GHz+.
i5 2500k
AMD FX-8320 on stock. Good price/performance ratio. High TDP but my Melstorm 120K liquid cooler keeps it cool silently.
One trick is that it needs a 650W 1 12V rail PSU to have no "lags".
Xeon X5650 does ok
I5-6600k
Intel i7 4770 3.4ghz CPU is perfect for my gaming and media tasks.
primary rig:
i7 3930K @4.2GHZ
back-up rig:
i7 980 @4ghz
Plan on upgrading after Zen/Skylake X Launch. Yet to hit a game I am bottlenecked by my CPU running 2 gtx 1080s on my primary rig and it is still very quick for all my other needs like video conversion/editing. Only reason I am upgrading is the age of my systems. It will become my back rig replacing an i7 980 that is several years old though still very capable.
5820K in my main rig. Ive had it for about a year and a half now, and it's been more than powerful enough for my uses, and should be so for another few years - it's overclocked to 4.4GHz right now, so it's the best of both worlds. I also have a Pentium G3258 OC'd to 4.2 in a LAN box which also does exactly what I need it to do. I've only had that one for about 6 months, and I have some big (small) plans for it.
