  • Actually i5 2500 and 2500k can both be overclocked except the 2500 is harder to overclocked than the 2500k

  • @gdialpha: Actually the normal i5 2500 has very limited over-clokcing abilities hence we say if you want to overclock go with the K version.

  • I don't think i5 has 4 cores. i7 does have 4 cores.

  • @writetokinshuk: The desktop variants of i5 are 4-cores but many of the chips that go in laptops the i5 are dual core you even have dual core i7 chips for laptops, in this video I was mainly talking about desktop processors.

  • @kshitijbansal18 processor is important too. If you want a good gaming system go with an i5 and a hd 6870 or higher =]

  • @geekyranjit actually, K is tn IGP, nothing more. overclocking these models causes increased instability over non-K chips... use tomshardware or google. im so tired of you youtube clueless nubs.

  • i want a new PC for gaming, now i am confused between a pentium D or i5 processor as smone telz me dat gaming requires a good graphic card n not a good processor. so WOT SHUD I DO??

  • my graphic card i have is; ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT what is a good processor to game well, withouit lag, and not to expansive?

  • @awesomegamingdude64 im pretty sure you cant play bf3 on that...

  • great!! now i know the processor i buy recently for my pc is core i5 2500k is the best.,it can overclock...YESS! .im planning to upgrade soon to Z68 PRO motherboards.

  • i have an i3 and it runs fine

    im not going to shell out $300 on a i7

  • @geekyranjit it also depends on how much you want to overclock coz like i use a i7 2600K 3.4 overclocked to 4.6ghz however my brother uses a i5 2500 3.3 overclocked to 3.8ghz as he only surfs the net and doesnt do that much gaming so a mild oveclock is good enough. it all boils down to your needs
