I originally came on here yesterday looknig for advice on a new Graphics Card!

Im now tempted to improve the core of my machine. Heres what i was thinking.

I currently have the following;

I5-2500K
Z68AP-D3
Corsair XMS3 1600 8GB DDR3
Nvidia 560Ti with Accelero Cooling Unit
CPU Cooler (Can't remember of the top of my head what it is!)

Crucial M4 - System Drive
1TB - Storage Drive

Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W

Fractal Design 3000 case.

I was thinking of the following;

- Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM with FREE Grid 2 PC Game

- Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard + FREE Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro SR1 CPU Cooler!

And keeping the rest of my components. Obviously i could use the new Cooler that comes free with the Mobo, which saves me having to buy one, and possibly sell the game for to recoup a few quid.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, i thought as much.

Just thought if i upgraded now, i'd recoup more for the stuff i'm taking out, Z68AP-D3 Mobo and the I5-2500K. Maybe around the £130/140 mark, which in theory makes the upgrade £160ish

Not sure what id get for the 560ti. Cost me £125 new, a few years back, got a really good deal!

Its tempting...
 
If i have no intention of OC. Would it be worth opting for the 4670? and not the 4670K?

I'd be basically paying £15 more, for something id probably never use! I've never OC'd my 2500k in the few years i've had it!
