I have 200-270$ for a processor. So, I'm wondering, what should I get...
There are two parts of the question:
1. What is the best processor in that price range if I use it at stock speed?
2. What is the best processor in that price range if I overclock (moderately, nothing that would require water cooling)?
Of course, I'm talking about bang-for-buck, obviously the most expensive one would probably be the best one, but I'm not willing to pay 30$ more for, say, 3% increase in gaming performance. The CPU's that I'm looking at currently are i5 3570K (it seems that the general consensus on the forums seems to be that this one is the best for OC'ing), 4670K and Xeon processors. Of course, I'll take any suggestion if it's backed up by an argument or two.
