Well, i wound up building a computer from cyber power with an I5-3550 and 8g (2GX4 Kingston HyperX RAM) and a the 750W CMPSU by corsair. The i5-3550 had the benchmark of like 7.6k and the i5-3750k was i think slightly higher, but was not worth the extra 30$ they wanted to charge. the 3750k can...

speed doesn't exactly equal performance

Which one would better perform. I plan on running it in a system with 8g of DDR3 RAM and a Z77 MOBO with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit Benchmarks are: 3550 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-3550+%40+3.30GHz 2320...

The Motherboard* i had selected was a Gigabyte Ga-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 chipset. would OC the CPU make a huge difference in how much faster the 3770K would be over the 3550? This is the benchmark of the 3550 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-3550+%40+3.30GHz This is...

I would be willing to, the current tower i have was a kit my dad got me to build back when i was in highschool (I'm 23 now and a junior in college) I just upgraded a lot of the tower i have aka spending about 200$ only to find out just really how old and bad my cpu is for gaming. I can hit about...

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1E51H1 That's the link i am looking to get. Built it last night and shaved off some parts to lower the cost. Switched from the I5-3570K to the I5-3550K. It had a higher benchmark speed with the highest value. The 3550K does NOT support OC. I had the 10% OC...

I was looking at different CPU's but doing a little research before i decided to post on here, i pretty much knew that what i have now isn't worth really replacing without a new mobo and RAM. althought i spent about 36$ on some high performance ddr2 ram, it will beat what i had in there, which...

Thanks, I will most likely just wait to upgrade the MOBO and CPU together. However, since most new mobo's require ddr3 RAM i'll have to upgrade that as well. Thanks for the feedback!

I am looking for a Better CPU than what I have, but I'm not looking to spend a ton of money. I've obviously seen that processors can get outrageously expensive. Long story short, with the arrival of D3 soon I am upgrading my Desktop and am trying to get the best performance I can for a decent...
