Upgrade time!
I'm looking at a LGA 1156 chip but don't know which to pick. Money isn't an issue but saving some doesn't hurt either. I already have a Xigmatek HDT S1283 that I'll be using instead of the stock cooler.
I'm looking at chips like the core i3-530, core i5-650 or the unlocked core i5-655k. I'd like to keep power consumption downish, but still get a nice air-cooled OC for gaming.
Should I go dual-core or quad and which core i series do you think will be best for me?
