Erm. Is that a single core CPU or is lt actually multiple? Maybe I'm just too oldhat but I haven't seen any new single core processors in years, or any at that frequency for that matter :o

It's quad-core. New single-core? AFAIK, both Intel and AMD don't produce single-core anymore and so too dual-core. He overclocked the i5-2500K to 4.2GHz with the aid of aftermarket cooling. I would be surprised if he overclocked it beyond 4.0GHz with only stock cooling.
my pc specs:
Compaq Presario SR2170NX
Intel Pentium 4 Hyper Threading Processor with XD support 3 GHZ 1 core 2 logical processors
320GB PATA HDD with Windows 7 Home Premium
ATI RADEON XPRESS 1100 Graphics
1.25 GB DDR2 ram
LG 22x DVD-RAM drive
7.1 surround audigy zs 2 sound blaster
10/100 mbps ethernet
thats about it for me.

And a new tower, I hate cable management.
Spoiler warning:
After two years of not having a decent system after moving here, I finally stumped up some cash for a worthy machine.

Upgrading to an I7 3770k here really soon + a Noctua NH D14 cooler. Getting a good deal on them used.
Negatives: My PC sounds like a Dodge Diesel truck revving up when the GPU fans kick in high gear. I have to use MSI afterburner custom fan controls to manage the temps, because stock fan profiles don't cut it for crossfire/SLI. Fans running 100% on both cards @ 85C, although they only reach those temps in the summer time. Skyrim with a heavy ENB pack uses 60-80% of all 3 of my GPUs. 60FPS @ 1080P though. Tri-Xfire doesn't normally work in Skyrim unless you use ENB.
