Id say yes its worth it, but only because when it comes out Z77 boards and 1155 CPUs will be cheaper.

As a gamer looking for gaming performance you are ways off from having issues playing any game with a 3570k and getting less than 60 fps with appropriate GPU hardware.

If you are a quantum physicist however, extra performance may be worth it...


Haha just looking to get the most from Planetside 2. Thanks for the advice! 

Well...for Planteside 2 you could get the AMD A10-5800k APU and a 6670 in crossfire for 200 bucks and max it out.

Thanks but I'm guessing you haven't played it? The bitch is incredibly spec heavy thanks to ongoing optimisation. 

You're right, I havent'... :) I Is it CPU or GPU heavy?

If you've a PC that can play it I highly recommend giving it a spin - makes all other shooters look laughably easy.

It takes a good GPU (660 and above) to max out the graphics but at the moment the CPU is massively bottle-necking the whole game. When you have fights with easily 300 guys shooting each other it kind of makes sense but generally the unofficial recommended CPU is the 3570k.
