3570K cost $45 more than 2500K,and Logan said that 2500K is much better in terms of thermal performance.
What I worry is the gpu that the cpu can handle.
Tell me what you guys think.
o_0 a 2500k costs more than a 3570k
lolwut the 3570k is the newer ivy bridge chip the 2500k is the older sandy bridge chip the 2500k overclocks better in gaming than the 3570k but if you want quick sync for video editing or usb3 or pcie3 then you want a 3570k
Opps. Sorry. Typo lol
THE 2500k easily overclocks 4.0ghz and never goes above 35 degrees with my h60 it is great i would reccommend it and where these proces from.

This place has the 3570k for cheap. Don't know how they are offering it so much lower than everyone else.
hmm... PCIE 3.0 vs PCIE 2.0,which is better? I mean I'll never use SLI or Crossfire.
pcie 3.0 and microcenter is hands down the cheapest place for processors
definitely grab a 2500k if it's significantly cheaper and all you do is game. Not sure why someone would say get the ivybridge if you want usb3... 2500k can have usb3 too...
There's no gaming reason to rush for pci-e 3.0 because there's no tangible difference at least with triple-sli/crossfire.
a few fps difference lol. ok,2500K is the one for me. Thanks for the big help guys.
If you're not gonna OC, get the 3570K. But if you are, a 2500K is a better choice, but only by a little. If you have good cooling, get the 3570K instead, because even at lower clocks, it's a little faster than a higher clocked 2500K. Plus it has a lower power consumption. The reason the 2500K is better at overclocking is because it runs cooler than it's Ivy Bridge.
It's an in-store only deal. Unless you live near a Microcenter, you're not going to get one for that cheap.
