OK let me research on it :)

by the way how about Quadcore series ? is it better than i3 ?

if the 2500k is socket compatible it would be foolish to get anything else.

install 'speccy' (or any other hardware 'monitoring' software) then tell us which motherboard you have. (model & manufacturer)nilzg

the new i5's are out. the i5 3570k or w/e. them are meant to last you a good 5 years-but, what do i know. im rocking a athlon dual core with a 6870, 12gb ram and a 500 psu. lol

I would recommend just waiting till you can afford a new motherboard ($130ish) and a core i5 CPU. Patience is a virtue that is well rewarded. If you buy a core 2 quad now it will very quickly not be able to handle the newest games and you'll have to rebuy a new CPU all over again very shortly. STAR_Admiral
