I plan on upgrading just my motherboard and processor. I need assistance on deciding what is the best, most vfm, viable long term alternative.
I am getting a brand new core i7 3770 + gigabyte b5 D3h for 22k all inclusive from a local shop. I want something which will suffice my needs for the next 3-5 years and something that's a vfm option. I will not overclock anything. Will a core i5 3450/3550 suffice or should I get the core i7 3700? I don't need any K processors I believe they would be an overkill for me.
