Intel released the 3rd gen core i 3000 series processors late this April. Anyone thinking about upgrading? Thirteen new chips are in the market built on 22nm processes with updated built in Intel HD 4000 graphics.

been looking at the new i5's, the price for them imo is reli reasonable, but had my heart set on an i7
just bought i7...the differnce is too big, dont care about money if you can get this present from god himself
I don't think its really worth upgrading if you already have a good Sandy Bridge. Personally I would just wait for the next gen after Ivy Bridge
Cool Master HAF 932, 600gb Western Digital, 2tb Seagate Barracuda, Asus P8P67 Deluxe, Corsair CAFA70 120mm, Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3, Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz, EVGA GTX 560ti FPB (Fermi) 1gb 256-bit
Agree with phoenixx .. If you already have 17 2nd generation . lets say 2600k or 2700k .. Its more then enough ..
But if you have too much money .. you can buy it lol
My i7-2600K is still going strong at 3.80Ghz.....guess I'll just skip two or three generations then upgrade if the need arise, I would rather focus on getting a nice SSD to install my OS on, wish their prices would just stagnate for a while, I mean if I bought one now, 1 months later a better version will be released ;(
Is the Intel i5-3570K + Asrock z77 Extreme4 fine without a graphics card? because I dont have enough money to buy a decent video card at the moment.
Thanks.
One Love!

Depends what you wanna do with your machine once it's built. For light gaming without too much hardware intensity, you'll be fine.
For the latest games I'd recommend a discrete GPU.

Yes that entirely depends on what you plan to use your machine for, if your looking to game a video card is probably the most important piece of the puzzle, and you should focus on cutting where you can to get a good one, I had to go with AMD to get my gaming rig up and running with a decent video card, although I would have much preferred an I5 2500k/3570k.
