Thread: Which one is the best and does it work with this?

Im slowly......key word slowly. Building a new PC, and im in the market for a processor. I want an i7 cuz i heard their the best, correct me if im wrong.

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, CPUs / Processors, Processors - Desktops, Intel, Core i7Which one of these is good, but wont break the bank.

And will it work with my MoBo. Aka this: Newegg.com - ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel MotherboardThanks

2600K

Well, The motherboard you picked out has a LGA 1155 socket meaning you can only get LGA 1155 CPU's. So, that narrows down your choices to the 2600 or the 2600k at $300 and $314 respectively. The k allows you to overclock the system easier and at much higher levels and for a $14 extra cost is well worth it in the long run even if your not going to overclock that much. Get the 2600k or you have to pick a different motherboard to get 950 bloomfield.

thanks guys, just to make sure its this one correct?

Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K

Just an FYI, it is about $40 cheaper at Micro Center if you can get to one.
