I built my rig back in march 2011 around an MSI P67 GD65 and a 2500K which is running comfortably at 4.4ghz. I can get 4.8 out of it but untill I get it under water the temps are a bit toasty.
So I was wondering how much lifespan is there in this cpu ? I was thinking of upgrading to a Z77 and an ivy. But when I though it through it seemed almost like a waste of money considering that my 2500K isn't exactly holding me back.
So I guess my main questions are is it worth upgrading now to a Z77 + ivy or hold out for the next gen from Intel ?
How much real performance increase would you see and how does the 2500K bench against an equivalent Ivy ?
