Core i5-3570 3.4GHz Review
Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture based on tri-gate ("3D") transistors. Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform, but might require a firmware update (vendor specific). Intel will release new 7-series Panther Point chipsets with integrated USB 3.0 to complement Ivy Bridge.

i would say sell current cpu and gpu for 70$ and 65$ and then you will have 70+65+200( this cpu) = $335 . with those $335 buy both cpu and gpu . i would recommend i5-3450 ( $170-$175 ) 335-175 = $160 dollars . at this price point i would recommend 7850 .
hope i helped :)

I am looking at a pc with these specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
Ram: Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM
Harddisk: Seagate 1000GB SATA3 6Gb/s (7200rpm)
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX660 2GB GDDR5
Cpu: This one.
Is it good? It's not very expensive in my country compared to many other companies. It is not one that i'm going to build myself, but the price is decent.

hey guys! this CPU or the FX-8320? 3570 is more energy efficient and I will get a 750w corsair PSU, but if I have the 8320 it is a bit more expensive and I will need a 850w PSU, it will go with a 7870 iceq and 4gb ram. what do you think. and can I have proper responses based on benchmarks etc. not biassed answers

why a 850w PSU ? And if it's more expensive, why will you buy a better (atleast with better wattage) PSU ?

there is no need to go for a 850w psu. a 750w corsair is good enough for a fx 8320 and hd 7870. you should upgrade you ram to 8gb too. i would say the max power would be around 500w(IMO and it could be lower) if you oc the fx 8320. and remember to get a psu with at least bronze and above certified

I believe something is wrong with your operating system, you'll have to format and re install it. And also make sure you have installed all the latest for your hardware.

ivy i3 perfroms around 5-10% better than sandy i3 so if you want to improve something go for better graphic card i3 is good enought
But I think you can run everything on max settings with 1366x768 res

Sandy bridge only supports 1333 without oc, and 1600MHz won't actually give you much more fps (maybe one or two more)
