so i was asking that if i can overclock the i5 2500k on a stock cooler on 4.5 ghz and stable
i have a 500w psu btw
i have a 500w psu btw
so should i try or nah?I wouldn't do it. A cheap aftermarket cooler, would be a better idea.

ok thank another question i didn't buy the i5 2500k yet but i have a motherboard that supports intel 2nd and 3rd generations so do u recommend me buying the i5 2500k or the i5 3470I would not try it, on a stock cooler. Intel's stock cooler is horrible.
i heard that xeon is bad for gamingIf you have a discrete GPU, you might want to consider something like a Xeon 1230v2, or higher, that your motherboard supports. They are basically an i7, without integrated graphics, and often cheaper.

So should i go with that xeon or i5 2500k or i5 3470?That is false, in this case. Those E3's are literally just an i7, without integrated graphics. They will perform identically to their i7 counterparts.
my gpu is an gtx 1050 2gb btwThat is false, in this case. Those E3's are literally just an i7, without integrated graphics. They will perform identically to their i7 counterparts.
honestly i don't like the xeon idea but thank u anyway so should i go with the 2500k or 3470?I would go with the 1230v2, or higher, for better multithreaded support, in newer titles. Games finally are at a point where a pure quad core can hold you back.
cause i just checked that the xeon and my gtx 1050 will make a bottleneck of 60% but the i5 will only make 7%Why would you not want i7 performance?
and i may not find the xeon in my local shops and i can't buy global cause the shipping is the same price as the processor and sometimes it is moreWhy would you not want i7 performance?

this site https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ ?Those bottleneck sites are pure garbage, and in no way accurate. Ebay available in your area? Aliexpress might be an option too. If you absolutely don't want to try, get the 2500k.
look ebay shipping is from 20 - 30 dollars and sometimes moreThose bottleneck sites are pure garbage, and in no way accurate. Ebay available in your area? Aliexpress might be an option too. If you absolutely don't want to try, get the 2500k.

the problem is that i don't have this xeon processors in local shops and is the 2500k really better than the 3470?1st those bottleneck calcs are not accurate at all, only real way to actually see if theres a bottleneck is seeing it for your self, for more information id suggest you watch youtube videos, jayztwocents has some good videos on how a bottleneck actually looks like.
and as pointed out the Xeon E3-1230 v2 would be a better cpu that your two other choices.

not to mention that the xeon has more cores and as fast as the i5 2500k @3.7Ghz stock boost speeds.
Xeons arent bad for gaming, but not the best either.
