Intel i5 2500K OR 3570K ?????????

[akhr]

I am planning to buy a gaming pc and wanted to know which processor would be a better option considering my needs of playing high end games on my pc. Both the processors 2500K and the 3570K fall under (more or less) the same price range......


I would also be buying either the NVIDIA 560Ti or the Radeon 7850 graphic card.

Please tell me which one will be the better of the two?????

3570K

But I have read that there have been problems in the temperatures of the different cores and also there are problems with overclocking.........considering that will 2500K be a safer bet???

They both perform very similarly, the 2500k over clocks a bit better, though I don't think theres much performance gain above 4ghz anyway.
