Sandy bridge is in my opinion still the best processor when it comes to raw power. On another note, how is this exactly an upgrade? If you didn't have water cooling and now you do, agreed, that is an upgrade. But why the switch of motherboard and case? If your signature is what you have currently, i don't see the point in this "upgrade". although I just realized that there is no pciE 3.0 with sandy bridge wth PCIe 3.0 is not that great of a difference. it will only give you a performance boost of 2% at best.

jdm_freek Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) i thought i would be ge getting pcie 3.0 til i read completely i wanted to get my pc off the ground and this case doubles as a test bench as i change parts quite often and i dont trust my cpu cooler as i have many others have had lines crack over time Edited February 23, 2014 by jdm_freek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyt Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) i can get a 4670k and a nice mb for around $340 and then give my son my 2600k and mb so i will wait A 5GHz 4 core 8 thread 2600k to a 4 core 4 thread 4670k that might only give you 4.5 - 4.6GHz depending on your cooling ? Kinda sounds like a downgrade to me, and I should know Edited February 24, 2014 by Knight_72 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sounds like a downgrade to me, and I should know I was about to say the same, that i7 is better than the 4670k. Even if you do manage to get that 4670k to 5ghz (which you will not), the i7 will still outperform it in terms of raw power. If you are going to upgrade, and your signature is up to date, get a nice video card (although i can remember that you made a thread that you have bought a gtx780 , not sure tho).

jdm_freek Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I loomed at some reviews and it seemed the 4670k was a tad bit faster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
