If you're just gonna OC your CPU to 4.0GHz, go with Ivy Bridge. Should be easy-peasy to do, even on stock cooler. Though I would advise either a CM Hyper 212+ or Evo if a 4.0GHz is all you're planning to do with it, or a Noctua NH-D14 if you're planning to go beyond that.

If you're planning to go far beyond 4.0GHz, like say 4.7GHz, the 2500K would be a better choice, temperature-wise. smile.gif

If all you do is gaming the i5 series is great. Considering all you want is 4ghz the 3570k will be perfect for you. Ivy temp is easy to control up to 4.4-4.6ghz depending on how good of an overclocker you get. Going to 4.8ghz gets tricky.

I had both, my experience with the benchmarks I ran was that the 2500k was VERY close to the 3570k at the same speeds but the ivy cpu had a 150mhz advantage when both were set the same, meaning the 2500k at 4.6ghz would be about the same speed or SLIGHTLY quicker as 3570k at 4.4ghz. Once I placed both at 4.6 to 4.8ghz the temps started to get a little warm for the 3570k but it was always quicker, the plus was that the 2500k was much cooler running so more safe to me to have it 24/7 at 4.8ghz than the 3570k

Im personally using the asus rog maximus gene-z but at $130 I would have to look around, as rock, asus, msi with heatsinks on the board should do though for 4ghz.

something like this, but there are SEVERAL to choose from, this is a matx mobo but will fit ATX cases also. I just quickly pointed this one out since Im in a rush but can point you in the right direction.
matx z68
