[diako_lorddm]

hello
Here sandy bridge core i5 2400 is 20$(USD) more expensive than i5 2300 .
Is it worth it to buy 2400 ? or it is better to buy 2300 ?

How much 2400 is better than 2300 for gaming ?

(2300 is about 230$ and 2400 is about 250$ here)

If you trying to save money go with the 2300, you can easily OC to make up that difference.

No you can NOT overclock the 2300 or 2400. For $20 I would go with the faster 2400. Only K model processors are overclockable.

Where is 'here' ?

If you would be so kind as to link to a website or two (preferably in english!) where you will be purchasing components, the folks at THG will be more than happy to help you search for the best deals for your budget.

Remember in gaming: "" It's the VIDEO CARD !!! "" :lol:

If an AMD X3 Rana / motherboard combo frees up enough money for a serious video card upgrade --- go for it!
