Why Have Console Gamers Adopted PC Gamer Elitism?

[B86]

if you just really felt like spending money you couldve just copped an aftermarket cpu cooler and pushed the shyt outta your processor. the i5 2500k is a legendary chip and is notorious for being a great overclocker. performance gains from sandy bridge on to the skylake platform are minuscule

I know I had a "k" series chip but I don't do all that overclocking and shyt. You're right to a certain extent, but there's really no point in going through all of that for slightly better performance but having to monitor heat and possibly getting a new PSU. The 2500k could handle pretty much anything I through at it without overclocking. Nope...both stock, i5 6500 beats it out in all benchmarks (not by a whole lot, but still) so that's what I got. Why not move up to a newer board that uses faster DDR4 and much better on board audio (I'm a music freak) all for $32?

in overclocking, you only really have to worry about increased heat/power draw when raising stock voltages... the 2500k can easily get to at least 4.5ghz on air without doing so. it may not reflect it in synthetic benchmarks, from a price/performance ratio, your 2500k was a much better value. DDR4 ram also isn't any faster than DDR3 (as of right now anyways. this will surely change.) clocks speeds may be a bit higher but the high CAS latency levels it.

just wanted to give my 2 worthless cents. i totally see why you did it

No problem. First, what's your budget?

like 1k i guess my bad breh a nikka been sick
