The 2500k should definitely be on this list. One of the best performing chips for the price and there are some cheap 1155 boards out there now to pair with it.

In terms of value, I believe SB is a better choice than IB. The small performance increase isn't worth the extra $$$ imo. If you're buying new the prices aren't too different but you can pick up a used 2500k for super cheap these days and this is the "Value" poll wink.gif
