AOA guyz, upgraded my 2500k after a long long time. Gotta say it was and maybe still is one of the best CPU to date. As I saw some of its legacy in 6600k, by the grace of Allah, I made an upgrade to it, costed a fortune TBH. Here are the pics and unfortunately I missed the part in which you just install fresh CPU in that socket, best feeling ever. Maybe I was just too excited. Rest is documented.

Thank you so much bro.
Actually I did not, the reason being that they have released their high end lineup atm that is Ryzen 7 which starts from $329. This is 10k out of my budget. And on the other side Ryzen 5 is not announced yet, and will take time I guess, that's why.

Congratz bro :)

Which CPU cooler r u using??
Thanks bro. I am using Hyper 212 (the very first one). I can not believe its performance. I bought it back in 2011 and it is still giving me MAX 65C on 4Ghz 6600k @ all cores. But this is without any kind of dust as I keep my pc super clean.

ryzen will makes it way here one way or the other ---its good value for money lets see how it fairs out when benchmarks and real world tests are done on them .

nice build

Exactly, and I dont mind it being faster. I think it's cool if it is, however they have not yet released their $200 lineup, it will be revealed later and it will be the deciding factor for core i5 series. Also newer platform comes with shit tons of bugs. Remember the P67 chipset from intel for 2nd gen series, it was a chaos. I think buying ryzen (importing without warranty) will be a bad idea until 5 months from release.
Thanks.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
