Convince me!!

Do I get a 2500K from the MM or hold out and save for Haswell?

Will be upgrading from my spec in sig!

 

[snips86x]

Gone with the 2500k!! Better than my FX-6100 that is for sure.

 

[teppic]

That didn't take much convincing.

 

[scotsdragon]

Yeah he convinced himself lol

16 minutes.. that didnt last long

 

[snips86x]

haha - it was only £200 and the difference would have been huge compared to what I've been using.

200 quid?

 

[snips86x]

200 quid?

Well, mobo & CPU, not just the chip. That would be insanity to pay that!

 

[scotsdragon]

Which mobo?

 

[snips86x]

Which mobo?

Asrock Z68 Extreme 7 Gen3

Solid reviews and the seller said he's had no issues with it from day 1. Can't miss an opportunity like that!!

I was going to say, I bought my 2500k for £160 new.

haha, yes! If I was buying new, ** No competitor price mentioning **

I would get a 8320 and save some cash.

Ditto

 

[teppic]

Me too. That's a decent board and the 8320 can keep up well with a 2500K in most recent games, sometimes beat it.

 

[snips86x]

Not a fan of AMD chips, Intel will be the way forward for me.

 

[d_brennen]

Give me your board?

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I would have bought the FX8320 and overclocked it a bit. They can be had for nearly £100 new on offer and you get a warranty too.

 

[Martini1991]

I think personally that 200 quid with that board isn't great, I sold a Maximus IV extreme for under 100 quid, 2500k's can be had sub 100 occasionally.
