I understand you're considering pairing your 980TI with either an i7 2600K or an i5 7500. Both are solid choices depending on your needs. The i7 offers more power for demanding tasks, while the i5 provides better value and efficiency. Let me know if you'd like more details!

The 2600k could be a good fit since you can boost its performance if you obtain an overclocking motherboard. Beyond that, perhaps a first-generation Ryzen would work. Could you clarify the exact budget you have in mind—whether it's for used or brand-new components?

This seems like a clear option. You won't be getting hyperthreading, but the other enhancements across generations will still be present.

It really does depend on the board. A high-powered 2600k will easily outpace a 7500. Those recent upgrades tend to be limited.

The Mobo model is the GA-Z68X-UD7 designed for the i7.

The 7500 without a K doesn't support overclocking. But when switching from stock to a used system, the 7500 vs 2600 per core IPC can be about 5-10% higher or lower based on how you measure it. The 2600K will run at full speed and has twice as many threads, which helps offset the lower IPC. It's similar to picking between a 2700x and a 3600x processor—one offers more threads with slightly lower performance, while the other provides higher IPC better for gaming. It really depends on your intended use. If you want maximum overclocking, go with the 2600K.

Looking for a solid PSU to power the GTX 980 Ti and an Intel i7 2600K? Since the market in Australia isn’t great right now, you might want something reliable and efficient.
