I5 2500k over i5 3550

good buy, both at the same price of $200, paired with an asus z77,

do you plan on overclocking? the 3550 is faster at stock, but the 2500k can overclock. If you get the 2500k you would need to buy a good aftermarket cooler so you can overclock it until its better than the 3550. I would just get the 3550 though, simpler.
