I5-2400 15-2500k

Oh yeah, the 2400 would be just fine for those.

Thanks, so what would make good use of 2500k

Honestly, unless you just really want to OC, there's not really anything a 2500K can do that a 2400 can't.

ok cool so i will probably settle with the 2400. You have any mobo recommendations? That arent too pricey.

This is a great board that should be pretty budget friendly for you: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard $114.99

You don't necessarily need a Z77 (or P67/Z68) board for a 2400, but you can't beat what that board offers for the price.

ok thanks ill probably pick those both up. I was also wondering cuz my friend gave me his old mobo an LGAA 1156 so i got a new i3 LGAA1156 but i think the mobo got fried but im not positive should i just get replace the mobo or should i replace both? because im not positive which one is messed up

Not quite sure what you're asking there, but since you're getting the 2400 and an 1155 board anyway, I wouldn't even worry about replacing either one. Not really worth it, unless you absolutely need to, for some reason.

sorry for not making any sense let me reword that. My mobo and processor are LGAA 1156 and im unsure which one is broken so i would rather just upgrade the broken one then both. Do you know if there is a mobo that can do LGAA 1155 and LGA 1156 Processors

It's probably the motherboard, since CPU's rarely ever fail (a seriously small amount).

But no, there aren't any boards that support both 1156 and 1155.

You'd have to get a new 1156 board for the i3 and a 1155 board for the i5.

Oh ok. Can you recommend me a fan for the CPU?

You won't really need more than the stock cooler that comes with 2400 (because you can't really OC far enough to make use of anything better, anyway), but a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus or Evo is a good choice, if you just want cooler than stock temps.

If this is just for a gaming rig, you could save yourself some cash and just go with an i3-2120 and decent H61 board. You won't see much, if any, difference with the i3 as opposed to the i5 in those games (or most games for that matter).

But if you have the cash and don't mind spending it, then go for the i5-2400 and the board DJDeCiBeL suggested.

Oh because on my last build with the I3 and my computer kept restarting because I think overheating. And all I had was the stock

Ok I'll take a look at that one but I will also be using light room and
Photoshop

which do you think is the best h61 board?

I don't have any personal experience, but I did some digging and this one seems to be a pretty good mobo:
ASRock H61M/U3S3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard: $67

It will support IB cpus, so there is an upgrade path for the future.
