Hi People

I have a intel i7 860 im wanting to either overhaul my rig or build completely new rig.

Is this Chip good enough to keep so i can save some money on a build?
If so what motherboard should i look at?

If not then will a i5 2500k be better?

Many thanks
 
That i7 870 is more than good enough but if you don't think so I would quite happily buy it from you :)

As above upgrade the graphics card if you use the pc for playing games.
 
the 860 is still a good cpu and no need to upgrade til the next generation unless money if burning a hole in your pocket
 
Thanks for that guys, i have decided to keep the chip for now, i will wait until it actually holds me back then upgrade!
Thanks
