So, I'm planning on upgrading to the i7 2600K (or i5 2500K), since my E8400 isn't quite up to the job any more, particularly in games (and wasn't what you'd call high-end when I got it). Having had it since 2008 (or perhaps 2007?) I really feel it's time to upgrade.
However the main issue is that of the SATA ports; the SATA3 ones are fine to use, but any board I would have the capital to buy would only have two, whereas I have three hard drives and probably getting an SSD, and probably another hard drive fairly soon.
Now, what I'm wondering is whether I should wait until they've sorted out this bad SATA controller issue, or buy now and RMA should it become an issue.
Thanks,
