It can't be overclocked.i5 2500k - 11K
The base clock is still locked, but multiplier oc'ing is achievable, thats what I meant to say, but it doesn't matter I guess.^^ err - what ! core i5 2500k can be OCed if pankaj818283 gets a P67 mobo

guys i have 6870 twiin forpzr with 650W coler maste now i need performance , and no compromise on performance,
also important thing the case of temprature, i need stable overclocking with good temp. handling capability of procc,
intel is little behind on overclocking i guess, than amd vs intel which will be d right
core i5 2500K is better than 7xx series anyday just make sure to get a good P67 mobo with B3 stepping - like asus P8P67 pro @ 9.5K
constantine, ya Sandy Bridge is way better than any previous generation processors..from AMD or Intel. 2500K will offer much better performance than a Core i5 760. SO go for it. Get a 2500K @ 11.6K and an Intel or ASUS P67 based mobo @ 8 to 9K. Sandy Vridge processors are hell of a overclocker too. You can get past 4 GHz with just the stock cooler.
And regarding your power supply query...don't get CM Extreme series PSUs at all, no matter what their rating is..700W or 1000W. Also try to avoid CX series if you are not in budget constarint.
Get a Corsiar VX 550, more than enough.
Corsair VX450 is better than Zebronics 700w Platinum.Sam , could you give me the prices of seasonic or corsair ? and 450w ? are you serious ? Mann ! my friend has a 260 and he has a Zebronics 700w platinum . so i assumed .... but 450 w ? Phew ! I'll go for 550w just to be sure though.
Refer this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-mothe...entify-asus-new-b3-revision-motherboards.htmlTopgear , what about Asus P8H67-V ? does it have B3 stepping ? and any other mobos you recommend ?
Tagan is very good and reliable. But I'll prefer a Seasonic or Corsair PSU.What about Tagan PSU's ? any good ? cause 600w costs only 4.2k or so .
