No reason to buy out dated etch when the new stuff is only 20$ more And at microcenter it is only 10$ more.

Unless your buying used then id say 2500k all the way but new.. 3570k no questions asked.


Also Grab a new monitor 1080i Panels can be had for around 150$ if you look around.
5-10 more fps and a much smoother gaming experience with an i5 3570k? Why do you keep spouting this nonsense?
