Not trying to threadjack, but @3, which intel cpu would you recommend then? 3570k? 4570k? 3770k, 4770k etc?
Feel like in this case he already has a good motherboard so switching would be too much money, but in my case I just have a shitty 4 year old one (non ocable, no usb 3, heat issues) so I guess it would be better to invest in a intel motherboard/cpu?
