Possible new CPU for my PC.
Hi everyone. Given the specs I have listed for my PC, I was wondering if upgrading from my current i5 2500k to a i7 2700k would make sense. I noticed on Newegg that the prices of the 2700k have come down a bit, so I am considering it. Thanks in advance for any input.

Can you strech as far as 3770k, on ebuyer it as a £15 diffrence, it will be worth it as the 2600k is old generation
-
Additional note: I plan to upgrade my CPU cooler, so if I am going to do that, it would be a good time to install a new CPU as well.

the 3770k does come with a new cooler...

After looking at the specs for my Asus P8P7 Deluxe motherboard, it will support the 3770k, but I would have to flash my system bios as well. Doing that makes me kind of nervous, as I would hate to screw my PC up. Any input on that procedure would be welcome as well.

You may as well as yould have to do it for any 3d gen cpu. It may have dual bios but you will most problably be fine

If I went with the 2700k I would be fine as is, I believe.
-
Yes but it would br last generation so i think it would be worth the gamble

Just finished flashing system bios to the latest revision. The Asus flash utility made it a breeze. I also made a backup of the old bios, which I can restore if I start having issues with the new revision.

It had dual ios if it gives you an option. You may as well back up
