is the i7-3770k really any better then the 2600k if money were no problem between the two..

just take the $60 difference and don't think about it will i receive higher fps with the 3rd gen OC to lets say 4.1Gz over the 2nd gen?

ty for your time

You could get better performance out of a SB chip because you can OC it much higher without worrying about the heat (as much at least). The IB does perform better if clocked the same as the corresponding SB chip, but you can't push it as far due to overheating issues. With a hyper 212 evo I have seen SB chips easily get past 5ghz, but with IB I have only gotten them to around 4.4. If you want a high OC go with the SB, but if you don't plan on going past 4.4 go with the IB. Also, FS/Gaming performance wise, i5 is just as good as i7 for ~$100 less. Just saying.

For FSX, I see no reason to spend the extra monies just to get the IB. Take the money diff and upgrade the video card, HDD etc or buy an addon! Been running I72600K @ 4.7ghz for a yr with no problems.

I am doing a custom watercooling loop, so i will go with the SB, and i have a gtx 560 2 gig so i think my vid card is good by fsx standards.
