[MAF]Vertigo:
So you guys dont suggest go to the 3xxx? I have called up a couple of shops and they don't have it anymore either.
If I had to go with a 3xxx one, I'm willing to pay extra and get the 3570K, but is it worth the extra money over the 3550? I probably won't be overclocking so if it's only things like that that are the advantage then there's probably no point.
[MAF]Karlis:
there's 100mhz ontop on both turbo and base clock, for + ~15$.
performance gain is ~2-3%, so probably not needed.
talking about the 3xxx series, they're not any worse than 2xxx, they are bit better, just they are quite much hotter, and a bit more expensive, as expected of a new generation. also motherboard price will probably be higher because of the new chipsets. if you're fine with the pricing then you can go with Ivy Bridge.
[MAF]Vertigo:
The motherboard I'm gonna go with (GB Z77M-D3H) is around the same price as the old one for some reason.
But yeah I think I'll go with the Ivy Bridge, probably the 3550, unless you think the 3570K is worth the extra money, considering I don't do anything technical except play games lol.
[LSR]Jalicno:
If you do not overclock or overclock very little, the 3550 is the way to go!
But still if you have option to buy over ebay or similar i would buy 2500k ;)
[2F2F]Hellmuth:
Ivy bridge got heating problems go with Sandy instead.
