You're spending about $400.00 already. Might as well buy a new computer.

little high on the budget

I think the  $10 -$15 price difference is worth it. The result you get from upgrading an i5 2500 to i5 2500k outweigh the small amount of the increased price in my opinion.

I hunt for ssd deals and load it into my lappie.  No wait when boot my lappie up.  Worth the extra speed.
