Overclocked Wolfdale vs i5 2500k?

[wildmanuk]

Ok slight update im going to go the whole hog and get the 120gb ocz agility as I can see myself using up the space quickly once I have windows drivers on then a game or two, the 60gb would be full.

One final question? on the OC bundle page it says:

If you add additional RAM it will need new bios settings and slow the OC down do you think this means the 8GB upgrade will slow the OC down? or is it if you add in more memory and end up with 4 memory sticks rather than 2? and the 8gb will be 2 x 4gb and be ok?

Its ok problem solved, emailed overclockers it was if I added more RAM over the selected 8GB.

Ok system has now been ordered the i5 overclocked to 4.4ghz with 8gb RAM and gigabyte motherboard with the 120gb SSD.

Could have waited for Ivy to see if prices changed but its done now

Will see what tomorrow brings with the Kepler thing before I crossfire any GPUs etc.

Thanks for all the feedback on here.

Ivy only gains about at most a 10% boost clock for clock over Sandy Bridge making the 2500K still a good choice. Good job on the 120GB SSD. You will thank yourself on that one. 60GB is just too small in my opinion. All in all you got a very nice build.
