Upgrade my Q8300

Hardware Hub CPU
1

Hey guys,

I Have an asus z77m mobo lying around but i don't have a CPU for it.

So i was thinking about getting a new cpu, i have a gtx670 and i like to game recent titles at high settings. i also plan on using this machine to stream my games to a steambox. so whats a good CPU that isn't super expensive?

Grab an i5 3570k, it will pair nicely with that 670. If you don't plan to overclock the CPU, get the non K version, it will save you 10-20 $.

okey ill get a 3570k then any advice on a nice quit cooler? around 30-40$

Cooler Master Hyper N520 is a nice cooler around the $40 mark nice and quite and gets the job done.
