The best performance for money is the i5 2550K CPU. If you want the |
| 10 |
integrated graphics because you don't have an actual graphics card, you |
| 11 |
can go for the 2500K. |

This is a Sandy Bridge CPU. I normally don't recommend the Ivy Bridge |
| 14 |
ones because they run hotter, so changing the clock multipliers isn't as |
| 15 |
fun as with Sandy Bridge. |
