i have a intel i7 2600 and my friend said he has a i7 3770 and i could have it for $50 i was wondering how much of a gaming and general pc speed increase i would get.
if he is straight selling it to you for $50 take it and sell your 2600 for like $150 and use the 3770. If he is trading and you have to give him your 2600 and $50 I wouldn't do it not that big of a difference and when overclocked the difference is even smaller.
You really think i can get $150 for an second hand 2600
and i dont even know where i would sell it
performance diffrence between the i7-2700 and 3770 is realy minimal and not worth it. ☺ Notice that you also need a Z77 or H77 board to realy utilize ivy bridge... if you dont have a z77 board, you have to update your bios probably for ivy bridge support. But you still won´t have the benefits of Z77 / H77 then..
sell it on ebay. The i7 2600k goes for about $200 on ebay and if you have a normal 2600 I think $150 would sell fast.
