said by neonhomer:One thing I was pondering was the difference in performance between the i3-2100 that I have, and the i7-2600K that I have in my system.
My thought was build my son's system with the i3, and then when I get the money to buy a new i7 3rd gen, put my current i7 in his system.
You will see virtually zero performance difference between a 2600k and a 3770k. Plus, the 2100 is plenty for gaming on a single monitor.
