R3C Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 This is my actual computer: I want to make a update, change the processor, motherboard, memories and processor cooler. First i was looking for a Intel 2600k, Asus P8P67 M Pro, Crossair 8Gb 1600mhz and a crossair H70 But looking at this review: 2500k vs 2600k I don't really know what is my best option. The computer is for game, movies and internet. Because i allways player games in ultra high definitions and resolution, maybe is better a 2500k. What you think, or what should I buy spending arround 400/500€ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think, or what should I buy spending arround 400/500€ i5 2500k, CM 212 Evo, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz, a mobo to suit and a second 5870. Unless you will use hyperthreading get a 2500k don't need a h70 the SB chips a very cool and the 212 EVO is the perfect budget cooler that can still pull of a 4.5GHz+ OC on a 2500k with ease. With money saved by not getting a 2600k and a h70 get another 5870 the extra GPU performance is nice provided your PSU can take it. What PSU do you have? Would you be interested in Crossfire? Can you post a few links to where it is you are able to buy from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3C Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I'm from portugal, the shops that i have here with lower prices are this: http://www.globaldata.pt/ http://www.assismatica.pt http://www.pixmania.com/ ... My PSU can't take another 5870, but i don't need it either for now... It's a Nox Apex 600W I need a mother board either Edited January 28, 2012 by R3C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandreadstriker Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah go with the 2500K instead. Extra money could go to better board or better graphics (although a 5870 should suffice for almost all games). Can't argue about the 212+/Evo since it's the best budget cooler I've known to date. I'd go with these: http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=ASRZ68E4G3 - ASRock Z68 Extreme4 182,60 € http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=BX80623I52500K - i5 2500K 206,10 € http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 - Corsair Vengeance 8GB 47,30 € http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=RR-212E-16PK-R - CM Hyper 212 Evo 32,60 € Total: 468.60 € Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjj226_Angel Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 before there is nothing like a Asus or Gigabyte http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=90-MIBGS0-G0EAY0KZ As long as your case doesn't have a window, this would be a great choice, or http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=ProdDetailRef&ProdRef=GA-Z68XP-UD3P which is from Gigabyte which is just shy of asus in quality IMO, but it does have a nice black clean PCB which could be good if you have a case with a window. In your specific situation, I would go with Asus over Asrock. You will be saving some money and you will have a better built board.
