I'm upgrading my computer but I'm not sure what CPU I should go for. A friend of mine is offering to sell his i7 2600 for $200 (it's about three years old) or should I just get the Haswell i5? I have no interest in overclocking.
My current rig is this:
ASrock h61m-vs
I3-2120
Radeon HD 7750
4gb ram
Corsair cx600
I've already decided on a gtx 970 and an extra 4gb of ram but I'm left wondering if it's worth saving money on an older i7. Do I risk becoming outdated by sticking with sandy bridge? I mostly game and do video editing. Thanks.
