Ok here is the deal, i want to build a new PC and this time i will go to Intel... AMD just cant cut it up anymore.
So there is this friend who got a i7 2600k, he is selling it for 230 USD and it`s been used for the last 3 years, no OC ever but has been used heavily for gaming, how much could i offer him for his CPU?
But i also saw a brand New i5 4670k for around 240 USD... i know the 4670k has around 15-20% better IPC than the 2600k, but the i7 has HT which could come in handy for games that could take advantage of more threads.
I will probably OC which ever CPU i choose, since i always OC my CPUs. So, any pros and cons between both CPUs? which one should i pick? i am more inclined to pick the i5 since is faster and newer, but the old 2600k i heard is a bastly superior OC performer and can do Extra Threads per Core. I heard of people pushing it pass 4.2 GHZ on Air, and the newer Haswell models are not as good with OC.
Also, which is the difference between 1155 and 1150 Sockets? are they somewhat compatible or are completely different sockets?
So yeah, which one would you all choose?
