An I7 3930k is going for roughly 100 quid on ebay, but is it worth the upgrade? I also gave E5 2670 some thought but those don't overclock much as they got locked multipliers.

Thanks for the info, if you can link the place that is selling them for 65 quid as the I7 3930k seems to be the way to go with an upgrade from a hexa core E5645 running at 4ghzs on the X58 platform.

I'm looking in a location that fits this description and a locked i7-2600 is £95, and a 3770 is £135. Surely the 3930k would come in more pricey than those?

I guess it's due to the need to have an X79 motherboard, which are expensive even now, making the 3930k less popular than those other chips.

Yep fair enough. Looks a great way to go if you can find an x79 mobo then!
Agree with this.
