Ok so I've seen some good deals on Sandybridge I5's recently and i was wondering if they are still good cpu's and worth buying?

I am still rocking a sandy bridge, I haven't really needed to upgrade yet. I can't see buying a new motherboard and a new cpu yet with a different socket and only getting minimal peformance increase.

Haswell has some added chipset features, a bit more performance per clock, and support for some newer instructions. If you can find a good deal on a Sandy Bridge CPU and don't need the Haswell chipset perks, Sandy Bridge is absolutely viable.
