I agree with some others on here. 2500K should definitely be an option on here. For the price and what you get with it's OC capabilities, the 2500K ranks as best value imho.

I second this. I do not own the chip but have built 2 other systems for friends around this chip and overclocked them with ease. They are both very happy with them.

Value category, and there's no i5? My i5-2500k is the best tech buy decision I've made.

I would have voted 3570K as it's better value for gamers, IMO. But I picked the 3770K. smile.gif
