I assume 3330 and 3350 are new processors. I have been unable to find reviews on a google search. How do they compare (or not) with the Custom PC fave 3570K? The reason I ask is that I note that Scan rate it 3-stars (high-end product) whereas they rate 3570K at 2-stars (mid-range product). These processors are cheaper but are they as good or better?
Ignore Scan's star rating system it's incredibly meaningless. The 3570k is better but if you have a H77 motherboard you won't be able to overclock.
The 3570K is the better processor, as it allows overclocking, and it is faster at stock speed. You need a Z77 motherboard to overclock though.
Thanks for the advice. I plan to replace my i5-750 system in October. I will of course be buying a Z77 mATX motherboard - either Asus MAXIMUS V GENE or Asus P8Z77-M PRO I already have a Fractal Design Arc Midi case. I will be recycling my Samsung SSD and 3 HDDs, Graphics Card and Antec PS. Will be buying 8GB DDR3 and an Arctic Cooling i30. Any suggestions are of course welcome.
