I'm really tempted to buy a 2500K now.
Currently rolling on my Celeron SB chip and wondering if it is the right time to upgrade back to a high end chip? The 2500K has dropped by about £40 since its launch price, which covers the whole price of my Celeron chip , which will see use probably about a year down the line in another motherboard. I almost swore to myself that I wasn't going to upgrade until PCIE 3.0 CPUs hit, but after seeing the 3750K reviews I don't see prices dropping in the next 6 months at least (I don't see AMD changing this in any way this year), since Ivy seems pretty much the same as far as processing power goes (don't care about GPU improvements, my mobo will disable it anyway). My usage is playing games (Saints Row 3, L4D2, GTA IV etc) and some sound editing programs. My current chip scrapes playable framerates in SR3 and is not playable in GTA IV.
So what do you reckon folks? To buy, or not to buy a 2500K?
