Should I click the 'order' button, /g/?

My own reasoning for this upgrade:
>2500k is a formidable processor, will probably last for some time, like my Q6600 did
>I will wait for Southern Islands/Kepler instead of buying a graphics card now. BF3 will not be out for some time yet
>Hyper 212+ and five GT AP-15s will provide crazy airflow

The rest of the parts I will take from my current build (Corsair HX620W PSU, GTX 275, Spinpoint F3, etc)

Perhaps I should take /g/'s silence as a good sign?

I'll bump once.

>like my Q6600 did

Its the constant battle.

If you buy it now, you'll be able to enjoy the performance right away and for a longer period of time.

If you wait a few months, you won't have that performance during the wait, but you'll get a better/cheaper performance later.

I say buy now unless there's a MAJOR reason not to. Better to have the performance now and enjoy it, then maybe upgrade later.

the 2500k is NOT much of an upgrade from a Q6600. it's 2600k or just wait for octacore OP.

Depends on the definition of "can't handle". I simply feel that my CPU fails to give me the experience that I want. The Q6600 is still a respectable unit, but I might as well modernize my entire platform. I want to avoid (near) future bottlenecks without having to do heavy overclocking.

If you want to make your experience better, get an SSD.

SSD's can suck my balls. Biggest waste of money. For the price, the performance is not enhanced enough.

Also, get an i7.

Eh, I disagree. 60 GB for around 120 dollars seems expensive, but if you only install certain programs on their, the decrease in load times is substantial.

And they're more reliable. And they're tiny. and silent.

I'm saying they're freaking awesome, basically.

Noctua fits perfectly in my fractal case. Buy it. Also
>Noctua master race
Reporting in.
The Noctua keeps my 2600k @5.0 24/7

I would get the NH-D14 but it's a tad expensive. I won't go higher than 4GHz, anyway.
