I've had my current cpu for 5 years already. and its time i finally get a new one. I'm looking for a diy cpu with budget of 1.5k. Need recommendations. Using mainly for gaming. (BF4, COD, Skyrim, Dota2, CSGO, lists goes on) And i prefer them to be in the highest graphic possible. Thanks for your recommendations.
1.5k hmm if gpu is your most concern then get a ivy bridge setup.

If you do not know how to fix it yourself then best is buy the components and fix an appointment with Nigel at SLS and ask for help. Pay him a small fee.
