i5-2500k vs i7-2600k and DRAM compatibility
I'm planning to upgrade my PC to a better one.
I currently planning to buy this motherboard
many says i5-2500k is almost the same as the i7-2600k. except for the HT and extraCode:http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_DELUXE/#overview
4 cores.
is it worth it the $100 for the i7?
and.. is the DRAM 2200MHz compatible with i5 and i7?.
My usage is these:
Photoshop
some video encoding
Internet
PS2 Emulation
extreme gaming. hehehe
and.. is that board good for overclocking both CPUs?
and, when is the best time to buy? (like tentative price drop).
TIA!
