My I5 2500k finally exploded today after 6 years of being the best CPU I've ever had. What's the best chip to replace it with so that I can return to the 'verse once more?

The K series don't come with CPU coolers anymore so you'll have to buy one if you don't have a decent one already.

Is mostly the right answer. Does mean they'll need to get a new motherboard and RAM tho so if they're skint they'll probably want to try and track down an older chip.

I'd say if you are willing to put an extra $100 bucks into it, spring for the 6700k. Multithreading is becoming more prevalent now and the higher base clock makes a difference given that intel K processors now seem to be clocked at their limits already.

If you mostly play games you won't really notice any benefits from multithreading, so it may not be necessary. Also, Skylakes actually have a pretty good amount of leeway if you don't lose the silicon lottery. My 6600k is sitting at 4.6ghz at 1.37v currently and the only reason I stopped there is because I didn't want to go into the 1.4v range, though they're safe up to 1.45v. Stock is 3.5ghz with a 3.9ghz turbo.

Battlefront is a totally ok shooter if you don't want to leave the safe space of the Star Wars franchise.

I meant that as Star Wars Battlefront is a poo poo FPS, and him comparing star marine to it makes sense if that's what he considers good.

Wait I thought the argument was that Beer and his "ilk" wanted to turn the game into an EVE style pvp nightmare, suddenly now he is a carebear who wants in-game invincibility?

Right! What the gently caress are they even on about? All I really wanted out of SC was to get in on the ground-level of some eve style griefing.
