Like the topic said.

A friend just upgraded to a 6700k and i offered him 100 bucks for his 2500k + ASUS P8Z68-V PRO + 8GB Ram. Needless to say, he said yes.

1) Is it a good deal? He said if I offered less he might have accepted too, he does not care about it so I might ask for a bit of discount. maybe 80 bucks, I dont want to abuse.

2) I have a AMD Phenom II x6 1090t @ 3.8ghz (I can higher it up, but im kinda mediocre at OC and too lazy). Is the 2500k better? Considering that as far as I know, Intel is way easier to OC.

What I wanted it to?

I play, League of Legends, CSGO, Overwatch, H1z1. I cant play ARMA3 for some reason, 1090t wont handle it. Needless to say I basically want it for gaming.

Also I have a 3 monitor setup. Most of the time, if not always. I have a Stream to my left, email,twitter and what not to my right monitor. I get good performance since I oc'd.

I feel i made a big post. Will it be an upgrade? Doesnt matter if its a minimun one? And by any chance, Can I stream with the 2500k? I can with my 1090t no problem.

1) That's a fantastic deal.

2) The 2500K will have similar multithreaded performance and 50%+ better single-threaded performance. Expect to see greatly improved performance in the games you listed, as they're all very single-thread bottlenecked. Arma3 should actually run.

Also, there's probably a Windows license attached to that board, so you may be able to just reactivate it.

Also remember that the 2500K overclocks really well so you could hit 4.5Ghz without any sweat and some were pushed close to 5Ghz with good cooling. The single threaded performance will be a big bump. Also you will have the advantage of an Intel chip and some programs and games just like them much better due to optimizations only for Intel CPU's.
