Title, I think it's a good deal, what do you think? Later i'd like to upgrade to a 2nd hand 960 or a new 1060, got a 660 right now.

Well, we are reaching the limits of what quad cores are capable of, and there is the real limitation. They are being CPU bound reaching 100% usuage in some gaming scenarios. But for the most part gaming with that CPU and Video card setup will bring excellent results, and be a night and day difference in terms of gaming performance.

Its 3.3 base and 3.7 boost, and it's a real quad core. If I want a new I5, I will need a new mobo, and cpu, which costs 250+. I'd rather buy this i5 and a 1060 for 220 than have a 660 and an newer gen i5
