You must be young

Save your money, Intel prices should drop slightly


Hehe. I heard that they will from a lot of sources but Iv'e been waiting since middle of last year. I am soooo done :( I just want to upgrade this damn fx 6300! I need something to shut me up!

I found a cheap lga 1155 mobo on ebay for 17$, and a i5 2500 for 60$ (used)....but not sure if that's even worth it. I'm just trying to find something. But that's also a high risk, could be faulty pins, mobo, etc fuck

Lol yeah. I just keep thinking it's a steal if the shit actually turns out to work. The temptation is strong :(

Recommend the i7 Sky or Kaby? I am honestly seriously now I'm really sick of waiting. I'm checking Ebay, Craigslist just for something to pick up as my rx 480 is arriving today. Our local computer shops here are outdated as balls too, it's sad (or extremely over priced)

Remember there is no reason to get a K cpu without a z chipset.

What cooler is on your 6300? I was able overclock the shit out of mine and it worked pretty great. I'd at least try before you trash it for a bunch of used parts.
