    So i recently built a desktop but now i want to upgrade the cpu. The cpu is a q9550 but its not enough for me anymore. So what do you think about a Intel 3570 with some cheap motherboard for $89. Is it worth it?

    I assume "Intel 3570" means i5 3570 ? If so, why are you buying a three-generation-old CPU? You should always get the newest generation and you can still get $89 skylake motherboards.

    That`s a combo for $89 and i want to spend as least $ as possible. And a 6600k or even 6700k is a little bit out of my budget.

    Ohhh the CPU and motherboard for $89. That's a great deal, my advice is to go for it.
