about i5-3570 (non-k) and Intel® Desktop Board DZ75ML-45K

[rijinpk1]

something happened like this

mine friend was ready to buy this board (z75 45k) for 4.5k (another friend was ready for 4.7k but in emi)
so i went ahead fand searched for other components for him
then suddenly i saw that i5-2310 is available for 9.5k and i5-2500k for 11.8k and i5-3570 for 11.7k
so cheap (in comparision (price to performance) to i3-3220 which is of 7.5k)

so then i refused to sell this board

and now my new plan is to sell my current 1090t and 880g board
and buy either i5-2500k or i5-3570 (non-k) or i5-3470, and in future i will buy another hd6770 to crossfire with my current hd6770 (which will provide performance equalent to hd6950 i think )
and it will be ready for a sata3 ssd

so which processor to go for
a) i5-2500k (overclocked to max possible, also how much clock can i expect here ?)
or
b) i5-3570 (non-k) (overclocked to 4.1ghz with 4.4ghz single core turbo) ?

go for 2500k and overclock a little. high overclock may fry the board. also crossfiring is not recommended since it will running in x4-x4 speed afaik. so sell your old 6670 and buy a single good card.
overclocking a non-overclockable cpu is also not good.
also i dont think 6670CF will perform like a 6950.

2500k it is then

can't afford single gpu upgrade untill i get job (it will take atleast 1 year )
( 8k i have now ( only money left from my scholarship ) , i may/will get 10k by selling old cpu and board so 18k total for an upgrade, so 12.5k for cpu and 5.5k for hd6770 ( maybe used gpu ) )
so crossfire is the only option left for now i think

btw i have sapphire hd6770 (not 6670)
it have 2 crossfire connection for 3-way crossfire, so will it be helpfull to minimize the bandwidth limitation of x4 slot for single monitor @1080p ( if other card is also 3-way crossfire ready ) ?
