I've been gradually upgrading parts of my PC for a while now and it's come to the part for a completely new architecture. (CPU/mobo/RAM)
Specs:
CPU: Phenom X3 8650
Motherboard: Biostar MCP6PB M2+
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Graphics Card: GTS 450
Power Supply: Seasonic MII12 520W
I plan to keep my GPU and Power Supply until I can get my hands on a better GPU in the future.
I won't go SLI/Crossfire.
I'll use this mainly just for gaming.
Some of the parts I'm currently looking at right now.
Intel 4570 / 3550
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20H87%20Performance/
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87%20Pro3/ (cheaper)
Is the 3550 really more power efficient than the 4570?
Will the little overclocking overhead of the 3550 make a difference?
I've seen a number of benchmarks between the 4670k stock to OC and there doesn't seem to be any performance difference between the two in gaming. That's why I wanted to go with a non-OC processor.
My budget in my local currency is PHP 18,000. and I'll be buying from this website (CPU/RAM/mobo)

Thanks in advance!
