So i purchased a computer with the Sandy Bridge processor that is being recalled and I was wondering what I could get that is currently available that would have close to the same power and my inital setup.
Original specs:
i5 2500k 3.30Ghz
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450
8 GB [2 GB X4] DDR3-1600 ram
So I guess my question is... what can I get for about the same price either on the AMD side or with another processor that was still as good as the i5 2500k? I would like to stay around $1k if possible. I don't really know a lot about the i7's or the x58 mobos, but some people were telling me that I would either have to downgrade or upgrade based off trying to working around the orginial specs that I had.
