I'm gettin the 2700k because i can get it for $89. How about if we're talking purely stock? would .5ghz be the only benefit of the 2700k? or would get i a significant performance boost from the cpu too? Also upgrading this way will also get be prepared for ivy bridge as it uses the same socket (LGA1155) right? i'm currently on a LGA 1366 board

Right, Ivy Bridge will use LGA1155, same as the 2700k. If you got the C0 stepping 920, then yeah, definitely upgrade. (Where can you get it for $89?!
) Anyway, purely stock? With OC'ing not even in the equation, it'll already out-perform the 920. You'll just have to grab another stick of matching RAM (cheap cheap cheap these days), and a decent motherboard. Anything Gigabyte, EVGA, or ASUS.Quote:
EDIT: wait a minute my signature says i have an i7-940. i'm sure my sig has better memory than i do, but now that i think about it that sounds right, my mistake! Also if it's not worth the upgrade i'll probably just end up selling the 2700k
Keep me updated on that

I'm hoping the summer deal next year includes the ivy bridge.
