How much do you think we'll be paying for the 2500 / 2600 K's?

Dark_Angel · 23 Dec 2010 at 15:09

Pretty much the title.

I'd assume they'll take over the current 950 price point, so about 220 pounds or s, factor in another 100 for the motherboard and then whatever ram?

i think youll pay a good bit more for the k version if its overclockable but i hope not

flopper · 23 Dec 2010 at 15:40

320euro for the 2600k
220euro likely for the 2500k

Rumors show that it's about 15 pounds more?

£20 more in the UK for K vs the others when released. That is based on the wholesale price per 1000 units.

What retailers sell them for is up to them.

Did i break forum rules or something?

edit - my post was deleted?

apologies... mentioned competitors names...

Im definately liking the look of the K versions, might be time for me to try my hand at some overclocking! :eek:

Change the $ to £ and add the usual UK retailer scalper tax.

on the basis of the 2500k's already on sale, the actual prices are very similar to the overclock 3d estimates...

Dark_Angel · 23 Dec 2010 at 21:23

Liking the prices on the 2500's.

I hope OCUK do them for those prices, I'll be shopping around for basically an entire new system in jan.

scrlk · 23 Dec 2010 at 21:32

I'm thinking £175-180 accounting the K version + 20% VAT.

Hmmmm, so as with current i5 and i7, there's a massive premium to pay for the meh that is hyperthreading. Looks like i5 will be the bang-for-buck sweet spot again.

Could be except for one small little detail.

Do you mean the I5 760's selling really cheaply?

I doubt they'll sell thatttt cheap. Maybe I'll be wrong though.

posted in the other thread.... looks fairly accurate prices

Dark_Angel · 24 Dec 2010 at 00:07

Someone beat you to it!

I'm thinking the 2500K.

HT doesn't look worth it, I'll buy a cheap rig, clock the hell out of it and see what's going on later in the year.

HighlandeR · 24 Dec 2010 at 00:19

Looking about £350 for a decent gigabyte mobo + 2600K, proberly add 50-70 for Ocuk to offer bundle @ a dreamy 5ghz overclock and for 400-430 quid bundel?

TrojanWhore · 26 Dec 2010 at 12:49

my god that UD7 is pretty, I feel a splurge coming on.
Am hoping for a 2500k + half decent board + 8gb ram for about £400.
have a little over £300 from xmas so gives me a couple o weeks to save the rest!!

TrojanWhore · 26 Dec 2010 at 12:53

also hoping that my h50 with push pull apaches will be enough to tame it!

HighlandeR · 26 Dec 2010 at 19:08

Will run cooler then previous intel cpus so should be more then fine with a H50.

Think ill just get myself a decent rigg.... and ill just leave it at that, perhaps upgrade the gpu if I feel am sure a 6970 or 580gtx would last ages along with a decent 2600k sandybridge
