Isn`t that just an ivy bridge i5, so that would mean that his is better. There is very little advantage of sandy bridge over ivy bridge when you have a dedicated graphics card. So pfff to you my good friend! :3

Gecko, your next step is to get a watercooling system and overclock that beast to 5.2 GHz! Then this so called bottlenecking that you have experienced will be laughed at. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't think I'll be having performance issues anymore.

Why you no Z77. And should have got 2600k if any sandybridge, its the exact same as 2700k but factory clocked slightly lower and cheaper. Other than that, sounds good, unless its actually the SLi bridge, and in that case, good job on wasting money <3 :*

There are a TON of reported issues with the Z77, and it's more expensive. I'd rather have the increased clocking ability of the 2700k, too.

2700k is actually slightly better. Sorry, yots.

It's a cooling issue. Put it in the bathtub with a towelection over it, and run the water over the cpu to help it cool. Don't forget fish.

Hm? What's a cooling issue?

That's one way to water cool your computer!

Depends on what numbers you look at. The ivy bridge architecture does more calculations per tick so it doesn't need the higher clock speeds. Also look at performance charts for games. The 3570k is either faster or equally fast.

The 3570k, however, is locked at 3.9ghz.

Also, Ivy Bridge-compatible motherboards are more expensive.

The K at the end means it's unlocked, silly gecker. Also, Z77 are in general about the same price as Z68. My ASRock Extreme4 was cheaper than the asus z68 motherboards.

Moral of story, they're both much better than any AMD CPU.

But but but... Ugh. Why you so computer?
