Intel Core i5 2500K review
This is my ultimate bang for buck pick. The Core i5 2500K has already been touted all over the internet as one of the best CPU deals out there, and it won't be any different here. The K marks it as binned and unlocked so right out of the gate you know you're dealing with an enthusiast chip. At stock speeds the 2500K will prove a force to be reckoned with in both the theoretical benchmarks as well as gaming. Paying $35 more for such well rounded performance as well the huge Core i5 2500K overclocking potential on air are what make this such a great deal. Reaching 4.5Ghz with a $34 Cooler Master Hyper 212+ is practically considered easy and it would be a crime to leave all that potential dormant. At stock speeds it won't fall too short of an i7 2600K and in many gaming situations the i5 overtakes it as the i7's Hyper-Threading proves more detrimental than beneficial. If you interested in building the ultimate bang for buck machine, this is the one to buy.
