You need to keep up with the rule changes ;):p

Please note that this does not mean you spam the forums simply to increase your posts, as this action will result in posts being deducted, and if you continue this behaviour, your account will eventually be banned/suspended. Once you reach 1000 posts, you will need to activate your trust.The Trust system is for Members Market feedback only and not to be used for general user comments. Abusing the trust system will not be tolerated and such abuse will result in your account being suspended/ banned. Trust activation is either found in your UserCP, or you can press the trust button that appears at the bottom of all your posts.

Once you satisfy both of these criteria, Members Market access will be granted within 24hrs.

There is no buying, or selling allowed outside of the Members Market.

Nothing wrong with it at all. The performance gain is'nt worth the outlay. I was waiting for Ivybridge but will probably even give that a miss as my rig handles everything i throw at it.
 
If you want to upgrade, go for it. A new processor to clock the twangers off is always fun :D

Unless you do lots of encoding or rendering, you aren't going to see any real performance gains though. Nothing I do at the moment is performance limited by my 750, so I'm going to wait another year or so for an upgrade.
 
For the money paid, no. What you have to take into account also is in that comparison the i5 760 is 500mhz slower than the 2500k at stock. Once the 760 is clocked to the same speed it get's closer to the 2500k. Yes the 2500k can overclock a bit further than the 760 but if someone already has a 750/760 it's not really worth upgrading.
 
my computer doesn't struggle at all its just addictive want to have the upto date stuff. to be honest the only real upgrade i need is monitor if any thing but thats more confussing than owt not sure to go for 2560.1440 res or a true 120hz monitor i only use my comp for gaming mainly bf3
