System Specs

[CA] Intel Core i5 3570K

I'm looking to buy an Intel Core i5 3570k/3770k for around $160-200, I want a decent overclocker (atleast 4Ghz with lowish voltage). I really don't need the cooler, just the chip. I would prefer to get it from inside Canada so the shipping isnt too much, but I'm fine with buying from America.

Almost 95% of the SB chips I have seen will do 4Ghz on stock voltage so the IB should be a cake walk.

I'd rather get a 3570k and do it right rather than finding out its not enough for me and needing to upgrade again after a few months(done that like 30 times)

A 2500K should be enough for anyone. Its theoretically only 200Mhz slower than 3750K clock for clock.

As always... 3570K are available from microcenter for 189.99+tax new (201.39). First class makes shipping to canada easy and extremely inexpensive less than $12 for just a CPU with no cooler. 2500K are 159.99+tax (169.59). I've shipped them before, I'd do it again for a fellow TPUer
