Scenario 1:
Shall i buy a new i3-3220 for £92 with a motherboard i am not sure which chipset i prefer asus but even there B75 , H77 boards are expensive compared to the other brands, also between those three with asus there wasnt much price difference anyway (what other brands should i look for if needed?) so i thought to get the Z77 ,also i even thought to go down to H61/H67 but that could be too low performance i am not sure , i need a good motherboard so i can upgrade to the i5/i7 2nd/3rd gen , i wont be overclocking now or anytime in the future , i wont be using sli/crossfire either but if the price difference is like £10-15 or something i might aswell pay the difference
Scenario 2:
I buy a used i5-2500k for £125 from my colleague who bought it from ebay recently , and buy a motherboard to partner it up , i have only seen it boot up to windows i am not sure how often processors go faulty? , or if the temeperatures could be higher than usual because someone overlocked it too much?.
i am in a bit of a hurry because my colleague is willing to help me out and buy my amd fx 4100 for £80 and my asus m5a78l/usb3 for £60 which he knows he could go out and buy them brand new for exactly the same price but hes doing me a favour , only problem is he is only willing to buy it now as he could probably sell it for just under and try to get most of the money back
I have also heard that the new Intel Haswell Processors are going to be released in about a months time (i5/i7) but there is no sign of the i3's coming out yet maybe later on this year so shall i go ahead with the i3 i can get it now if i go with the i5 i might have to wait because the new chips could have a 20% performance advantage over sandy bridge processor but 10% over ivy bridge , the only way i can get the new intel haswells are to sell my processor and motherboard now and be left without a computer for a few months until i get the new i5's and still i wont know if they will be at a decent price and a big enough performance advantage over the i5-2500k
if they do bring out the next processors after the 4th gen on the same socket then i will be screwed if i upgrade to socket 1155 now.
