so my system is being bottle necked and i recently got a job and am about to get 400 bucks. i5 is 220 but theres one on craigslist for 200 flat so i have 200 left for a motherboard..which is the best? Im a gamer.
Why ?? He clearly states he wants a 2500k. Maybe the best bang for buck gaming CPU available. To OP: I have the p8p67 pro and its very solid. A hyper 212+ will get you to 4.5ghz for sure and is a super value. Silver arrow or anything from noctua if you want to spend a bit more. There's an Nh-d14 in the FS section for 65$ right now.Originally Posted by Ha-Nocri;15237993
get yourself i3 dualy chip if you r a gamer... and spend more money on GPU/SSD
Get what you want bro. You will love that I5.Originally Posted by kingkoopa95;15238013
why would i want to get a i3 dual core if i have 200 bucks to spend on a i5? -_-
not even close to be best b4b CPU:Originally Posted by danielwiley;15238063

It will bottleneck future cards. And unless you are getting the i3 1156 CPUs, then you can't overclock. i5 2500k is more future proof.Originally Posted by Ha-Nocri;15237993

he might be concerned about your gpu not performing. the i5 will be a waste if you don't upgrade the gpu.Originally Posted by kingkoopa95;15238013

might, but it is already clocked highly enough and has turbo. And there is Ivy Bridge down the road for the same platform... and like the previous poster said his GPU is not strong enough to use all that power anyway...Originally Posted by NuclearSlurpee;15238112

Post all the links you want. It will absolutely bottleneck future gpus. And its not what he wants, which is the point. You gonna make a helpful suggestion or just keep trolling ?Originally Posted by Ha-Nocri;15238099
