You need to look at the layout of the phases first - if somebody uses worse components then more phases won't always help from what I gather.

I have looked at a getting 3770K, but yeah the price kind of put me off, I don't want to go spending £170 on a 5 year old CPU to go in a 5 year old Motherboard only to have it fail 2 months later.

One secondhand place on the highstreet offer warranties of up to two years as standard.
