i7-875K - Worth it?

[KapteinFruit]

Hey, bros. I was wondering if the i7-875K is worth buying? I currently got an i5-750.

I want the i7-875K for HT and because it has an unlocked multiplier.

The reason I want an unlocked multiplier is that I can over clock my RAM much easier then.

I could just set the CPU at what ever I wanted/what works and then over clock the RAM after that. (I want 2000MHz on some Mushkin Redline RAM

)

Mate you dont need multiplier to OC the ram, your better off with a decent BCLK. the ram will be the problem when you start to clock though, much better off with high ram to start with dude.

I know what you're saying man. i meant that it's easier to get 2000MHz exactly with an unlocked multiplier. If I want exactly 2000MHz by using the BCLK then I'd have some weird CPU speed. (I think.) Know what I'm saying?

Yes mate I do. and the 875k isnt great for high multi's. Id either settle for what ever ram multi you can get OR get an 870 and some decent 2000mhz + ram

Hmm... I'll just stick with my i5-750 then.

I can rather get a couple of SSD's for the same price if I bother too. Do you know how I can improve my boot up speed? I haven't done a complete defrag in a long time, but I've done those quickies. And I don't got many start up programs.

This is what I'm hoping that i5 760's 21 multi will help with. Might make life a touch easier with my 2133MHz memory.
