Got a board on the way just after heatsinks and CPUs (2). No urgency really. Accept E5-2690v2 as an alternative.
Note in in Australia.

PassMark - CPU Comparison Intel Xeon E5-2695 v2 vs Intel Xeon E5-2696 v2 vs Intel Xeon E5-2697 v22695 is as fast as 2690 but slower in single core. 2696/7 is faster than 2690 in multicore but slower in single core. so 2695 is the lowest ranking of the 3.
but again depends on your software if it uses a lot of core or not to determine which you want to get...
