Hi all,
From reading around old threads, I get the impression that, with overclocking taken into consideration, there hasn't been much to choose between a 2500k, a 2600k and a 4670k. But these threads are usually a year or two old, and with the consoles now running 6 or more CPU threads for gaming, I was wondering if the 2600k might have more to say in 2016 even in the PC gaming market. So my question is which would you run of these three options (with 2nd hand prices):
Option 1) 2500k + Z77 motherboard (total cost ~£170)
Option 2) 2600k + Z77 motherboard (total cost ~£220)
Option 3) 4670k + Z97 motherboard (total cost ~£210)
