well the one i got is normally $120 but i got it for $80 with a $40 Mail in Rebate so i was like hell yeah! No aftermarket cooler yet because I havent decided to overclock my 2500k yet and i dont have enough money right now. i will get one when i feel the need to overclock for more heavy runing games. i also have to buy some other case fans to. right now i only have 1 :lol: and i have room for like 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 more, but my room is like freezing cold in the winter so it keeps it at like less than 50°C while running Far Cry 3 at Ultra. the 2gb version on the GTX670 was normally about $400 but it had $60 dollars off and a $40 mail in rebate and it works great. i will be overclocking it soon too. I dont plan on upgrading any time soon because i just put this together like 2 weeks ago and it runs great. Thanks for the input by the way :D

because the i5 2500k is one of, if not the best i5 on the market due to the fact that you can overclock the 2500k to make up for the difference in the two, but the 2500k can actually be overclocked almost as much as the 3570k plus i have heard that the 2500k is also better for gaming. which i wil be doing alot of so ya :hello:

plus the clock speed on the 2500k is clocked at 3.3 GHz and the 3570k is clocked at 3.4GHz

the max turbo frequency on the 2500k is 3.7 GHz and on the 3570k it is 3.8 GHz

the difference between these 2 is like very minimal you can see for yourself

Intel Core i5 2500k - http://ark.intel.com/products/52210?wapkw=i5+2500k

Intel Core i5 3570k - http://ark.intel.com/products/65520/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz?wapkw=i5+3570k

have fun :sleep:
