2500+

I'd say go for the 3000+ but it's much more money; the 2500+ is the best deal by far.

the 2500+ will most likely OC to 3200+ on air let alone water

You should have no problem running a 2500+ @ 3200+ with water. So unless you have extra money you'd like to burn on a 3000, get the 2500.

Why buy anything else when a 2500 overclocks so well. See sig for details

My 3000+ runs at 11.5x200fsb at stock voltage. With H20 cooling, and upping the voltage, who knows how far you can go? :light:

Whoa I recieved my rig today runs at 2.3GHZ quite stable, I only used FSB to overclock it. Although Idle 40C and in games 52C still stable
