William Sequeira 1192651 Posted November 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM Posted November 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM Hey guys. Kinda hoping someone has or has had an I7-870 and can tell me if I upgrade from my I3-530 to it, would I notice a difference. I would love to get a even better chip, but I need to stay with the 1156 socket mobo I have, as my budget won't work buying a bundle like that... Thanks for any suggestions....

Locally it's priced higher than the 2600K. So maybe even a 2500K with a new board might be a bit extra but well worth the upgrade as I imagine you'd get that extra value from it, especially if you plan to overclock. http://www.pond64.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
