Just something I been thinking about.
On my gaming rig I still use my i7-2600k.
I have now since upgraded lots of other bits from the original build, 5-6 years ago, SSD, RAM and EVGA 1070 being the main bits.
I have no desire to upgrade the CPU.
My brother is looking to replace his i5 2500k system, he's still on a mechanical drive, and has some old GPU.
But I have advised him to salvage the CPU, mobo and RAM, add more ram, SSD, new GPU, good CPU cooler. Then completely reformat, and overclock.
Just wondering if anyone else is still using Sandybridge CPU's, still loves them and has done similar, or looking to replace them?
