hi im just wondering is the i5 2550k anygood and im wonderig is this board anygood

and i will be streaming with a 480p and im wondering will it bottleneck cf 7970 or i may wait for the 9000 series

I would highly suggest getting a newer processor. Even a 3570k is going to be a step up for you. Also, no one knows what the 9000 series will have performance wise, so if you want a PC now, no need to wait.

[SuperOwnJK]

Pretty sure a 3570k would be VERY similar or the same price or even cheaper than a 2500k as I doubt they are even in production anymore? 

[Overl0rd]

Yes you should be fine, but why a second gen i5 and a third gen motherboard?

I'd go Haswell or at least Ivy Bridge (i5 3570k) if I were you.

im just asking is the i5 2500k no good anymore ?

 

or i can get this board http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141021995467?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

[Godlygamer23]

No. Sandy Bridge is still a good architecture. Going from Sandy to Haswell, you'll see a 20-30 percent increase in performance. Going from Sandy to Ivy, 10-15 percent increase.

If you have one, it's still an alright CPU. It just isn't logical to buy one right now when there are 2 full generations of better processors out there for the same price.

It's good, but you can get better for practically the same price.

[Nertballs]

if you already have the 2500k, don't bother uprading. it's perfectly fines for gaming, though i never streamed games with it! if you're only about to buy one, then get the 3570k, or the 4670k, as they're worth getting for the small increase in price!

[skitz9417]

will im coming from x4 955be

[rustikles]

will im coming from x4 955be

yeeeeeeah, you need a newer processor then haha.

[skitz9417]

yeeeeeeah, you need a newer processor then haha.

yep hahahahahaha

[skitz9417]

and i will be oc the i5 2500k and i will be cooling it by nh-d14 as well

The 2500K is a very good CPU and actually has a better heat spreader than Ivy and Haswell so you can overclock more. It also has 32nm architecture so less heat is generated while overclocking.

[zer0]

lovin my 2500k

[Godlygamer23]

What? That's wrong. Ivy and Haswell generate less heat per transistor because they're smaller, so therefore take less electricity, and therefore less leakage which then means less heat. However, the issue is surface area. Ivy and Haswell run hotter partly because there's less surface area to get the heat off because the heat is in a smaller amount of space. On top of that of course is the TIM that was used, instead of fluxless solder.

I said while overclocking, which is correct because the voltage is being pushed through 32nm as opposed to 22nm as therefore less heat is produced although when at stock voltage, less heat is produced which is where you are correct.

[Skanic]

But if you want to do streaming the piledriver 8350 would be better.

Source for this claim?

Source for this claim?

It's probably just the result of incorrectly mixing up things he read.

It is somewhere in this 58 minute long video so you can search if you would like

Don't just assume I'm stupid based on the fact that I'm still using a Core 2 Quad while everyone else is using their new Haswell i7, I know what I'm talking about most of the time.

I didn't say you were stupid.

People mix things up all the time. Don't think you're above making that mistake.

is this true guys would a fx 8350 be better for streamin or should i just go for i5 2500k

Yes. It does perform a bit better in streaming.
