2500K. 4.5GHz is easy.

 

[thecyb0rg]

2500K hands down. The 6 cores won't be fully utilized in games (now...or for the next 2-3 years at which point you'll upgrade again anyway). The 2500K overclocks like a champ too.

 

[MrTOOSHORT]

The 2500K is faster clock for clock and OCs higher too.

The 2500K will also beat out a 1100T in multithreaded apps when both chips ar at max OCs

 

[Baldy]

2500K is definitely the better out of the two for gaming.

 

[terraprime]

2500K all the way!

seems to be a no question in an intel forum

BTW.. i have a 1100T... goodluck overclocking it to anything above 4.2

it is EXTREMELY difficult to do without putting massive amounts of volts through it... i recommend the 2500k... can easily do 4.5 (in some cases depending on the batch... it can do it on the stock voltage)

[Kokin]

Definitely the 2500k, it's so good for it's value that even AMD fanboys will recommend it.

 

[ohzer0]

2500K is a no brainer

 

[smex]

which board you guys recommend around max 150-180$ ?! ( sli, good OC..) i think about gigabyte or asus..

edit: and this ram http://www.arlt.com/Hardware/PC-Komponenten/Arbeitsspeicher/Desktopspeicher/DDR3/1600-MHz-PC3-12800/8192MB-Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9.html ...

 

[-X3-]

You can take the P8P67-M Pro, or P67A-UD4-B3.

 

[Officer Farva]

It appears to be out of stock right now but others have gotten this deal before....p8p67 Pro for 149.99. Hopefully it comes back in soon, awesome board, especially at this price.

This is the same board i just ordered. From this video it seems that underneath the "thermal armor" it has grooves that run along the board and provide excellent airflow to critical areas.

I myself ordered a 50mm Mini Kaze off of Performance-Pcs to attach it to the area u see in that picture with 4 screws on the armor for better NB cooling it also adds airflow inside the armor since i dont generally have many fans in my Watercooling setup other than attached to the radiators.
