Upgrade for a 2500K?

[4ghz]

Any chance of finding a 3770K for $230 nowadays? I keep seeing $325. Similar situation, except I am not replacing my 2500K computer, but rather building a second. Thanks.

Looks like they are $250 at MC right now. You might want to consider a regular 3770 if you don't plan to go crazy with overclocking and don't live near a MC. They can go up to 4.1ghz all cores/4.3ghz 2 cores or less. I've seen them around for $230 used and newegg/amazon have it onsale now for $275 new.

3770K for me is £260 which is ~$405. I have the money, but it seems Intel doesn't have a CPU which is worth it.

I have a huge backlog of games bought in Steam sales , when I get chance to have a crack into those I might see if a new card would be worthwhile instead.

Still on o/c 2500K, still no reason to upgrade - newer cpu's are barely faster, and anyway 2500K still runs everything fine.

Go to Ivy E .... anything else is a side grade imo.
