looking for opinion on a build using 2500k/3570/3770 etc)
my buddy is a gamer (not a high end one) and he had himself convinced that he needed x79 so am looking for opinions on a build using sandy-ivy-haswell.
Looking for just the cpu and motherboard at this point. Not sure what will be able to use broadwell at this point.
So low cost i5 or i7 based, ability to overclock though not mandatory, solid stable performer with good feature(motherboard) not Asus if possible.
He is coming from a i7 950 setup asus decided to be Ahole and screw him for fixing a board that I believe was ~2 months after warranty and they have been giving him run around for over a month.
So yeh that's it, performance ~950, as low cost but as high performance/feature as possible, thanks much
