So I have this offer for a used 2500k for 95€ and a 3570 (NOT 3570k) for 100€ both have boxes and everything so I was wondering wich one would go better with my AMD Radeon HD 7870!
2500K can be overclocked to achive better performance than the 3570. But overclocking requires better cooling and a Z motheboard. The 3570 is easier option. The 2500K is the more "adventurous", but requires cooling a certain type of a motherboard. What is your motherboard.

At stock the 3570 would be better, as it has faster stock speeds and a newer architecture. The 2500k would be better if you plan to overclock, as it has an unlocked multiplier.
