Hello, guys I don´t know if this message correspond here, but i believe it does since you all guys are talking about overclocking the ivy bridge.
I´m planning buying in two or three weeks my PSU and my CPU, I currently have the Aftermarket cooler or whatever the name is (it is the cooler master Hyper 412), and the motherboard which is a Gigabyte Z77X UDH5 without Wi-fi, I have 2 Memory Banks (2x4gb Gskill Ares 1600mhz) and an standard case (which I dont mind if it is ugly or pretty).
Later I´m going to buy some SSD later this month but thats secondary stuff.
So my question is what would you guys do If you were me (please share a little of your experience with this chips I only buy Amd generally but this time I want to give intel a try and also Nvidia), Should I get the 3570k ($290) or the 2500k ($283), I won´t buy the 2600k or the 3770k since those CPUs are highly overpriced in my country (for the 2600k it is about $411 and God knows how much for the IB, I believe those chips havent arrive yet) and yeah Im on a budget.
The CPU must be fast and I want to overclock it at least to 4.2 Ghz yea for faster loading times in games with the SSD.
So finally let me comment that currently I Have and Phenom II x6 1055 which I manage to overclock to 3.5 Ghz with Turbo bus enabled to 3.75 (it says 3.8 but whatever) with similar components 1600mhz memory oc 1666 also Gskills. Yeah I just sold this rig to my best friend so he and I could play together (he will buy stuff for that rig too like a SSD more memory and new PSU).
Will I notice any better performances with this new rig (the intel)?
Thanks in advance for the answers guys (yea btw let me say sorry about grammar, main language is Spanish). And Mod please if this doesnt correspond here please let me know so I can copy all this stuff and open a thread. :whiste: Cheers!
