The k version is practically the same price and theres no reason to limit yourself..

yeah it’s same price, but what about the 2500k then? in some cases it performs better than the ivys and it costs something like 30€ less

if u dont want to limit yourself, it means you will overclock even a bit your cpu or not? because if you wont it’s pointless to buy the K even if it costs 1/2 euro more than the normal one

and keep ready for the future, the psu isnt a compontent that you have to change so often, tbh it’s better to buy a good psu and keep it for years, without waste more money, and re buy psus every time you change something into your pc

Well why not get the latest tech(ivy), when there is almost no difference at all(in performance/price). It’s just my opinion and I’d get the newest one. You can’t go wrong with either 2500k or 3570k tho. Both really good processors.

yeah ivys are upgraded sandys, both powerfull cpus, but i read something about the ivy, seems they have some internal issues with the internal grease, ppl was blaming intel because they were having pretty high temp while overclocking, i dont know they may have fixed this problem, anyway atm im running a 2600k and it’s perfect no problems tons of fps in all the games and still low temps even at full load etc…

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H – Ivy Bridge
ASUS P8Z77-V LX – Ivy Bridge

ASUS P8Z77-V LX is decent motherboard (USB 3.0 ports don’t work under XP).

I found that GTX 560Ti at 200 euros, but I think would be cheaper, but I don’t know where I find because I’m spanish and cannot find cheaper in, and don’t know any shit about foreign shops. If ucould recommend me. Cheers :D

I’ve already send you a Spain website.

Well, I saw some weird settings of the Gigabyte One. So finally I decided to upgrade my PC in this.

Videocard: http://www.amazon.es/MSI-N560GTX-Ti-Twin-Frozr-OC/dp/B004K8R8AI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342603652&sr=8-1
RAM: http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B004QBUL1C/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d1_g23_i1?pf_rd_m=A1AT7YVPFBWXBL&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=181SVFTMKHE8GGVF5D1W&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=312237387&pf_rd_i=602357031

Btw, could I get use of my last RAM memory? I have Kingston 4GB, could I get only one of 4GB and use 8GB? I mean the older one + new one.

very good choice the video card, prolly the best gtx560 Ti/Oc around

bout the memories, well u need to find same exaclty model you got now, it should be the same, neither similar, just SAME or u may have bsods problem, different brand moduls may have different default voltage also they may have different timings, frequency, amount of memory, etc, so if u just want to add 4gb, be sure u buy same exaclty model that you already have.
