View link please first.

Alright, well, I had JUST gotten that CPU and hard drive two or three months ago.

**When I play CERTAIN games like Sleeping Dogs, BF3, Dead Island or another high demanding game I get this irritating noise.
That was just some random information that I also have a problem with^ A fast paced ticking noise btw.

ANYWAY. I kind of want to upgrade the CPU and MAYBE the hard drive. Is there a really good intel CPU cheap under 300 or 200$?

That's how much I have to buy. I have to pay rent in a few days. Please help me. :bounce:

For a good intel CPU just for gaming , I would suggest either the i5 2500k or the i5 3570k. If you want a new hard drive , try the Western Digital Black. If you don't want any noise from the hard drive , you can get an SSD if you want but they are more expensive than hard drives.

No, the i5 3570K is necessarily the best option - if he is an overclocker he'd like the 2500K better because it runs much cooler than the 3570K when overclocking. Anyway, I'd recommend the 2500K/3570K too, both run at about 220$, then throw in a roughly 120$ Z77 motherboard that'll support it & if you're gonna replace the hard drive, go with an SSD for Windows & a WD Green drive for primary storage.
