That, and the 2500K is a socket 1155 chip. I don't know how easy or hard will be finding a compatible motherboard that also allows overclocking.

You could stick with Socket 1155 and go Ivy bridge instead, find an old 3770K second hand, Sandy will clock higher though.

With that said... A 2500K should have a few years of life left in it still, games are starting to become better threaded and better optimized thanks to Direct X 12, which lessens the need for the best CPU.
Sink everything into the GPU and if you haven't... An SSD.

He was talking about a new mobo, tho.



Please excuse my bad English.
